On 21 Jan 2009 I wrote the following concerning adding an LTO4 drive to
our autochanger with two LTO3 drives. So far it is working fine.
We just added a new LTO4 drive to our Neo8000 with two existing LTO3
drives. I thought I would just have to add the drive into the device
section of the SD with a new Media Label and things would be set to go.
Well, the director wants to know what media type the SD is. I've created
a second SD block in the dir pointing to the same SD with a different
name and Media type. Doing a stat storage on both result in the same
info.
Can someone please help me to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the
foot. I was able to label a tape using the LTO3 SD directive with the
LTO4 device, but it did show up as LTO3 media despite what the device
setting is. Relabeling the tape with the second directive did label the
tape as LTO4.
