Re: upgrading autoloader 1/9 w/ ultrium 215 drive
I don't think we ship an autoloader with a 215 in it, which is the half height LTO1 product, 7.5MB/s native transfer rate, 100GB native capacity. The drive in your autoloader will be a 230, which is the full height LTO1 product, 15Mb/s native transfer rate, 100GB native capacity.
If you were to buy a 460 and tried a simple swap of the 230 to the 460 it would not work. From a physical and mechnical viewpoint it would, but the library controller firmware would need to be upgraded and you would need to procure an autoloader ready 460 that has the correct firmware. Both of these things are not available for the autoloader you have.
I do not know when or if HP will offer an Ultrium 460 upgrade for these autoloaders.
Hopefully, one of the HP library folks can add/correct anything I have said.
Cheers,
Dave Dewar.

Re: upgrading autoloader 1/9 w/ ultrium 215 drive
I doubt if will be possible to upgrade the 1/9 autoloader as it seems to be discontinued. And the 1/8 autoloader uses the low end Ultrium 215. If you need a Ultrium 2 autoloader/small library you perhaps have to look at another vendor (for example StorageTek).

Re: upgrading autoloader 1/9 w/ ultrium 215 drive
You have to replace autoloader, definetely.
The autoloader 1/9, although a very nice product, can only handle Ultra2 SCSI. The Ultrium 460 is Ultra3, so that won't be possible to be compatible with the 1/9 (or any Galactica library for that matter). They only hold Ultrium 230 (not 215!), DLT1 and DLT8000, which all work with Ultra2.
HTH,
Vince

Re: upgrading autoloader 1/9 w/ ultrium 215 drive
This was a mistake of me. The drive in 1/8 is either a DLT vs80 or a Ultrium 230.
