I'll pass on own my assumptions and ask for clarifications from the group.

NBU 6.5.1

ACSLS 7.1

SL8500 - standard basic install

I'm not looking to do any partitioning which I believe requires ACSLS 7.2, but I'm not sure if 7.2 is still required for what I'm wanting to do.

I'm going to add four LTO IV drives and what I understand is the new L4 labeling versus the existing L2 suffix is all that is need for ACSLS, library and NBU to distinguish the between the differences of tapes and drives, or is the creation of another volume group also required.

Any prerequisites, top down review or configuration requirements are appreciated - thank you in advance.

Scott J.
