All supported generations of LTO tape drives and cartridges can be in the same physical
library and within a single module.
This library supports a mixture of LTO drive types in a logical library. Some independent
software vendors (ISVs) support mixed drive types within a logical library and other do not. Some
ISVs that support mixed drive types might have restrictions. For details, contact your ISV.
