Q: Sharing Media among multiple libraries

[Nathan_Kippen]

We currently have an ADIC Quantum I2K Scalar Library with LTO3 drives.  We will be adding an SL3000 STK Library that will also have LTO3 drives.  If I mix my media between the two libraries, will I run into problems?

From what I read ... As long as I update my volume configuration when I eject tapes out of one library (which is done automagically because I'm not manually removing tapes out of slots .. the library is ejecting them through the MAP and uses a barcode reader) then NetBackup shouldn't complain when I put them in the other library -- as long as my media servers have access to both libraries (SSO).   Both Libraries are TLD, have LTO3 drives, and are controlled by the same server.

Can somebody confirm this?

Thanks

No, you shouldn't have any problems.

or you can configure both libraries under the same media server and you'll be fine, tapes are LTO3 so they can be read by any LTO3 drive, everything depends under which library are.
