Well, this is interesting, namely the LTO1/LTO3 part. I have 3584 with all 3 classes of LTO in it. Just added LTO3. Have some problems. Have checked docs all over with no useful info. Have opened PMR with Tivoli.
Haven't got "clean answers" yet. My first thing was that LTO3 tapes when labeled had 8 char volser and LTO1 & 2 still had 6! All in ONE logical library. Tivoli says LTO1 and LTO3 can't be distinguished in same library. And a coulple of other similar comments that they haven't given me doc reference for. Huh? I have IBM Top Gun here today working on separate machine and I asked him about this. He said he might have some info he would look up. I also have an idea about something I tried a couple of weeks ago that I need to modify slightly and try again. Don't like to make changes on Friday - I am taking next 4 days off. So, I will further explain middle to end of next week. David B.

The admin guide states: Mixed Media and Storage Pools: You cannot mix media formats in a storage pool. This includes LTO1 and LTO2 formats. Each unique media format must be mapped to a separate storage pool through its own device class. We want to continue using LTO1 media (reading and writing) and also use LTO2 media (using the full capacity) - all with LTO2 drives. So I think one way of doing this is to setup a device class specifying ULTRIUMC and another with ULTRIUM2C and then point stgpools with the appropriate device class. If this is done, can scratch tapes be used for both stgpools? Will TSM just use LTO1 media for the ULTRIUMC stgpool and only use LTO2 media with the ULTRIUM2C stgpool? If there were no LTO1 media, would TSM use LTO2 media for the ULTRIUMC stgpool (writing in LTO1 format)?
