Unfortunately, this particular NBU environment is running LTO2 drives.
I'm sure we'll upgrade the library eventually. I didn't know KMS was
free. I'll keep this in mind for future installations.
One follow up question. The environment in which I'm setting up MSEO
is currently running 6.5. I plan on upgrading it to 7.0 in the next 6
months. Which would be better:
1) Upgrade to 7.0 first, then install and configure MSEO
2) Go ahead and install MSEO and get it running. In a few months,
upgrade to NBU 7 and deal with any MSEO upgrade issues at that point.
