... You can actually mix lto media and drives without partitioning the library at 5.2. We have roughly 1/2 & 1/2 LTO1 and LTO2 media, with 12 LTO1 and 12 LTO2 drives all in the same 3584. We also have two servers acting as library client/manager pairs to each other and utilise storage pools of both device classes remotely as well as locally.
We have 2 device classes defined, each with a mount limit of 12, where you have to be carefull is that you don't specify a FORMAT of 'drive', rather you have to specify ultrium/ultriumc or ultrium2/ultrium2c.
