SolutionFirst you need to know whether you're using SDLT or LTO tape drives, and how many of them.
The base MSL6000 models either have 26 or 52 slots, with 2 or 4 SDLT drives respectively, or 30 or 60 slots with 2 or 4 LTO drives respectively.
Details of part numbers for upgrades can be found in the Quickspecs here:

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: What to know before upgrade a MSL6000 TL?
If you've already got LTO-4 drives then you already have the biggest capacity drives available at the moment.
I'm not sure how you'd get 230 slots though. A 4 drive library would normally have 60 slots...
What does your boss want to achieve by the upgrade ? Ability to back up more data, or ability to back up data quicker ?
Cheers,
Rob
