    Hello, I have a question about TS4300, can they be a hybrid environment? That is, a drive for IBMi and another drive for Intel? working within the same Tape storage? Is additional configuration necessary? greetings.

    Hi Miguel ,

    Yes, you can !

    Read the following Redbook "IBM Tape Library Guide or Open Systems " , Chap 10 

    Chap. 10.9 Working with logical libraries
    Logical libraries are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance of multiple,separate libraries for the purposes of file management, access by multiple users, or dedication to one or more host applications. You must have at least one logical library in the TS4300, even if this logical library has all storage slot, I/O station slot, and drive resources assigned to it.
    Note: I/O station slots and drives are dedicated to logical libraries and are not shared. It is important to consider this factor when planning logical libraries for the TS4300
