The readme for 5.1.7 on the FTP state states: **************************************************************************** ***** * $$7 LTO Generation 2 Support * **************************************************************************** *****
TSM now includes support for the second generation of LTO hardware. This support was introduced at 5.1.6.1 and is supported by any level released later; however, any attempt to use LTO2 devices on a lower level than 5.1.6.1 is not supported. ------ (Support for LTO2 for PASE is new with 5.1.7) 5.1.7 is not beta (although it is just recently released ....) According to IBM the patch levels have had less testing than the maintenance levels. I'm running 5.1.6.1 and 5.1.6.4 on W2K with no problems (not with LTO2 though).

Okay, thanks for the info. Another question though: We have the HP 460 LTO Generation 2 drives, and I need to make sure we have the correct TSM version installed so we can use those tapes. The docs that came with TSM say 5.1.6 is the correct version, but the ftp site says its 5.1.7. But 5.1.7 looks like the latest version, maybe a beta? My question is: what is the correct version of TSM to install onto Windows 2K Pro in order to support the HP 460 LTO-2 drives? 5.1.6 or 5.1.7? I'd prefer NOT to use a beta version. Thanks! Alex
