146 General Usage Appendix A
Mixed Media
HP Tape Libraries have a mixed media feature that allows the use of different
drive technologies within the same library.
Some considerations when using mixed media:
■ Your backup software application needs to support mixed media in order
to take advantage of this feature.
■ HP Library & Tape Tools version 2.2 or greater is required for diagnostic
support.
Media Migration
Utilities and services are available to assist you in migrating from one drive
technology to another where possible.
HP Library & Tape Tools
The HP Library & Tape Tools diagnostic assists you in installing and supporting
your tape library. This tool provides an intuitive graphical user interface with
integrated context-sensitive help. It can be downloaded free of charge from
www.hp.com/support/tapetools.
Among the many features is a Migrate Backup Media option available from
the Utility menu. This utility will copy data from DLT drives to DLT or Ultrium
drives. See Figure 41 on page 147 for a screen shot from HP Library & Tape
Tools.
