Hi, I hope I can get help. I have an SR open, but so far no progress has been made.
We have a library with 6 drives - 2 LTO3, 2 LTO5 and 2 LTO6. LTO3 use LTO3 tapes set up as hcart3. LTO5 uses LTO5 tapes set up as hcart2. We just added the 2 LTO6 drives. Device monitor shows drives with the paths correct. It is set as hcart2. We use SLPs. I changed the max concurrent drive in the Storage unit settings from 2 to 4. We have duplicaiton jobs running - they use both the LTO5s and do not attempt to use the LTO6 drives. message in policy showing it is waiting for drives is :awaiting resource oocsvopasb4-hcart2-robot-tld-1 Reason: Drives are in use, Media Server: oocsvopasb4" I have checked, the concurrent drive for that SLP is set correct at 4. We rebooted master and media server after the change, it didn't help.
I expect these LTO6 drives to use the LTO5 tapes - I know they cannot use the LTO3 tapes. Not a problem there.
Any ideas? We have never had a job run in these drives, they are new. Thanks for any suggestions!
