Good day,
My environemnt:
Solaris 10 SPARC.
Netbackup 7.5.0.1
I have IBM Ultrium LTO4 drives running using the native st drivers of Solaris. I recently aquired two additional IBM Ultrium LTO4 drives and need to get them on the same FW revision level as the current drives. The tload utitlty is not loading the FW and I was advised that I need to install the IBM drivers and use the ITDT tool to update drivers on the tow new drives. The manual recommends I remove the existing st drivers and install the IBM drivers to allow only that to control the devices.
My question is, will this cause issues with the existing drives?
I've never used drivers other than the native Solaris drivers, so I'm a bit tentative to install something new and risk breaking the current very important environment.
If anyone has done this before, please provide some tips.
