I had a problem about a year ago when I installed a single LTO3 drive in my 3583 with 3 other LTO1 drives. I created a new devclass and specified FORMAT=ULTRIUM3C and the original devclass for the LTO1 drive I changed to FORMAT=ULTRIUMC. Everything worked just find until I had to try to copy from LTO1 media to LTO3 media. The processes would just sit in a waiting for mountpoint and never complete.
I ended up opening a PMR with IBMTivoli and the response was that the drive allocation module would need to be re-written to handle this going between devclasses with mixed drives in a single library. IBM closed the PMR as a doc change. They changed the doc to say that FULL support of mixed media/drive libraries will only happen if you logically partition the library to separate the device types. I was searching the archives for my post last year, but can't find it right now.

Hi David As I put in my post, I've checked that the paths are correct and online. Both drive34 and drive 35 have been used today by other processes. I've checked they are definitely empty with the 3584 web interface. There are no entries in the AIX errpt for them.

This is an onsite storage pool. The drives are online, I've checked the paths and they are correct and online, there are no mount errors in actlog. Process Process Description Status Number -------- -------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 3,380 Space Reclamation Volume SH0885L3 (storage pool RMM_VDC_DATA_PRIM_LTO3), Moved Files: 0, Moved Bytes: 0, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0.
