Also, for the record.. Even though the Sun/STK software doesn't require a separate esoteric in order to direct mounts to the correct device type, other system software may require it. For example, DFSMShsm does not like when you mix device types in the same esoteric and define that esoteric to HSM for something like migration or for ABARS. I remember a problem during one of our DR drills in the past when we had a mixture of 9840A and 9840B that caused a problem. While both can read / write the same physical media, 9840B is faster and is a different CUTYPE.
