I don't if SHARED=YES is mandatory. The only issue is when you do checkin you should not have Tape mounted in drive. If yes it may take the slot of the tape mount for the tape that you are check in.

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? _____________________________ William Mansfield Senior Consultant Solution Technology, Inc "Boireau, Eric (MED)" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <eric.boireau@M cc: ED.GE.COM> Subject: Re: Two devclasses with storagetek library L700 Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ST.EDU> 12/13/2001 01:18 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I have 4 LTO Drive and 2 DLT in the same physical STK L700 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. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Feyerabend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 ? Matthias Feyerabend
