Hi - I have an IBM 3200 Tape Library, it has 2 full height Ultrium 4 drives, I have purchased 2 Ultrium 5 drives that I know are compatible with the library....couple of questions.
Can I put 1 Ultrium 5 drive in and still be able to write to tape with the ult 4 drive while I configure/firmware upgrade the new 5 drive?
Should I just put the 2 new drives in and configure at same time?
I know Ult 5 drives are faster than Ult 4 drives but is that only when they are writing to Ult 5 tapes as I still have quite a few ult 4 tapes to use up...will I see any increase in speeds with an ult 5 drive writing to an ult 4 tape.
Any other tips or suggestions?
Thanks
David
