Hello, Have Neo4000 and my experience was, that HP LTO3 were not supported below 5.3.x (at the time only 5.2.6.x were available, so maybe in 5.2.7 it works) Adding additional module - I had to delete and re-define library again in TSM (takes < 10 minutes - recommend to write a TSM script for it) Seen this both on Win2k3 and Linux
are you going to use LTO2/3 drives mixed? beware on mixing media types in such case .... as you do not mount LTO3 tape to LTO2 drive .... Hope it helps Harry "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> wrote on 24.10.2006 13:54:06: > You'll have to upgrade to at least 5.2.7.0 to get support for LTO3 drives. > > With other libraries, adding expansion is just as simple as shutting > everything down, adding the capacity and bringing it back up > again.
