LTO2 drives are back compatible with LTO1 media. Ensure that the atape driver version is at the required level to support gen II.
Put all the tapes physically to read only, to ensure there is no potential way of writing over the DR data. _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Meadows, Andrew Sent: 11 May 2006 01:39 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Pre problem question We currently have a 3584 library with lto Gen 1 tape drives. We are heading to a DR test where they have lto Gen 2 tape drives in a 3584. The os is aix 5.1 and we are using the atape drivers. In the test all we will need to do us read the data, no backup operations will be required. I am anticipating some type of problem but I don't know exactly what to expect. Has anyone had similar experience that can tell me what to expect?
