Won't give you complete solution, but will give you some tips.

Has you already have LTO2 tape -first make note of what Maida Type you have 
them setup as.

When you set up new library in NB
The LTO4 tape drive needs to be setup as the same Media Type as your LTO2 tapes 
- this way NB will know that it can mount an LTO2 tape in it.

When you setup your LTO5 drives - do not use the same media type, set them up 
with a different type.
Issue here is that LTO2's were known as HCART2 ,  LTO4's as HCART which would 
put LTO5's at HCART2 -
But it is just a tag so you may have to use HCART3 for the LTO5 drives.
Then setup your barcode rules to bring the LTO5 tapes in as HCART3, you should 
already have a rule for your 

You just have to make sure in NB the LTO2 and LTO5 tapes have a different media 
type, and that type matches the type of for the correct tape drive.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 7 with HP MSL8096 infrastructure


Currently we are having our backup running on LTO2 drives with netbackup 7 
application.

We are going for new library with 2 LTO5 and 1 LTO4 drive which is HP MSL8096.
We will use LTO5 drive for any new backup and will use LTO4 drive to restore 
the data backed up on LTO2 tapes.

Please let me know how this will work using single library with two different 
LTO drive and different type of media in library.

I know that MSL8096 can be partitioned in two libraries etc..

Please give me complete solution based on above scenario including HP Library 
and Netbackup 7 application.
