Didn't think this was possible.  Did you have to do anything to the L700 to
configure the virtual libraries?  Is SHARED=YES required for this config?
Is there any disadvantage to always setting SHARED=YES?

I have 4 LTO Drive and 2 DLT in the same physical STK L700 Library. But I
have define 2 Virtual Lib
Here is my config file :
Try to not used the "Shared=Yes", when used you cannot remove without
deleting the library.

I do not believe there is any direct support in TSM for having 2 types of
drives within the same library.

You do not tell us your server platform, so I am not sure if this will help
you, as my experience is on AIX:

We did it with an STK9710 by defining 2 different TSM LIBRARY definitions.
A
"LIBRARY" to TSM is actually a logical construct, not a physical one.  So
we
just defined 2 library names, both pointing to the same AIX  /dev address.

Then we defined our DLT drives to the first library name, and our 9840
drives to the second library name.  Then you run TWO checkin commands,
CHECKIN LIBV LIBRARY1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, followed by CHECKIN LIBV LIBRARY2
xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Our library was defined as TYPE=ACS, so I don't know if you can do the same
with a TYPE=SCSI library, or if you can do it with a Windows TSM server.

But this maybe will help you get started.

Subject: Two devclasses with storagetek library L700


Hello,

we are trying to use Storagetek library L700 with two DLT and two LTO
drives. All drives are online. Checkin of DLT volumes was ok, but we are
not
able to checkin some LTO volumes. We were trying checkin libvol with
parameter devtype=LTOCLASS1, nevertheless we get message:

ANR8373I 001: Fill the bulk entry/exit port of library
LIBTSMB0 with all DLT volumes to be processed within 60 minute(s); issue
'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready.

The library waits for DLT volumes, not for LTO ones.
How do I checkin scratch volumes for LTO and how scratch volumes for DLT ?
