in an ATL to TS1130's:
We are about to upgrade our ATL (3494) tape drives from 3592-J1A and
3592-E05 (aka TS1120) to 3592-E06 and 3592-EU6 (aka TS1130). These are
the only 3592 drives in the ATL and all are on the same controller.
The TS1130's can only READ EFMT1 but can R/W EFMT2/3.
All of our existing 3592 carts are EFMT1.
Based on the above you should also stock the ATL with EFMT2/3 media
so you can continue to write to the ATL (since the EFMT1s are
Read-Only) as well as seeing about migrating the contents of the
EFMT1 media to EFMT2/3 media so you can replace the EFMT1 media with
EFMT2/3 media that can be written (this is of course only needed if
you are running out of storage slots in the ATL).
