Hello

We have five IBM lto 3 on a server.
Unfortunately our reseler sended to us 3 new HP lto3.

My question is, is'it possible to have on the same server both HP and IBM lto3 ?

What's the driver for the Hp Ultrium lto3.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Nicolas

Yes, it is possible to have IBM LTO3 and HP LTO3 drives on the same server. It is important to know which backup program and operating system you are using before picking the correct driver. IBM and HP media should also both be compatible with LTO3 drives.

Hope this helps

Yes it works fine.

You need the good driver, on the hardwarpath.

TSM, seems to work ok, with the different drives.

Thanks a lot for your answer
