We are in the process of replacing a tape library with another. How many tape libraries can be configured on a mediaagent? We would like to have both attached at the same time for a transition period. The old one has LTO6 drives and the new one has LTO9 drives.

Hello
Thanks for your query,
We can have multiple tape libraries attached to a media agent, it should be detected on the OS level and zoned appropriately.
Please refer to following docs for configuring and deconfiguring a tape library
- https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/87483_configuring_tape_storage.html
- https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/87494_deconfiguring_tape_storage.html
You may refer to Media Refresh documentation during the transition/migration of data from one library to another - https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/10516_media_refresh.html
Thanks Tanu, the tape library has been configured but cannot detect the LTO9 drives. I am using v11 FR20 and I believe this is the issue. What is the minimum FR that I need to get to for the LTO9 drives to work?
