hi,

our current version of networker 7.0 only supports up to lto2. we installed a virtual tape library that is lto3. there had been no problems with operating virtual lto3 tape library with lto2 driver from networker. that goes for both tapes and tape drives

we are now upgrading to networker 7.3.2, which supports lto3. i don't think there will be issues with lto3 tape drive, but i have a concern with the tapes. will the lto2 tapes be automatically recognized as lto3?

thanks,
 
Hi,

if you do a libary reconfigure, it will automatically change the drives to lto3 but the tapes will be still flagged as LTO2 !

This will cause, that auto media managemnt will no longer work untill you relable the tapes !!!

Cheers
