Upgrade all tape drives to LTO3 (Remove all LTO drives)2. Create new Storage Unit with hcart33. Add new hcart3 medias into scratch pool. ( so now the Scratch Pool will contains both LTO2 and LTO3 medias)Question:1. When the backup run and require a new tape, NB will try to pick up a free tape in Scratch Pool. Will it pick up a LTO 2 tape (This is a Hcart3 storage unit) ?No. It will only pick LTO3 tapes. The Storage Unit is hard-coded for hcart3 density tapes, not hcart2.2. If NB do pick up a LTO2 tape, What will the backup speed base on ? It will be base on LTO2 or LTO3 spec ?If by some miracle a LTO2 tape is selected, then it will run LTO2 speeds (the drives usually are backward compatible).3. Same question as Wong. If I set up a pool that will use all LTO2 medias. When the images on these LTO2 expired, it will go to Scratch Pool. How do I control that so that it will move back to the original pool instead of Scratch Pool ?If the tapes start out in the original pool, they won't go back to Scratch. Only tapes that were originally pulled from Scratch will go back there.Rgds,WP
