(LTO) Gen4 drive can read 3580 (LTO) Gen4, 3580 (LTO) Gen3, and 3580 (LTO) Gen2 cartridges,
but can only write 3580 (LTO) Gen4 and 3580 (LTO) Gen3 cartridges), HPSS will mount a 3580
(LTO) Gen2 cartridge into a 3580 (LTO) Gen4 drive only if 3580 (LTO) Gen2 drives are not defined
in HPSS and 3580 (LTO) Gen3 drives are either busy or not defined. In this case, it is up to the HPSS
Administrator to make sure these 3580 (LTO) Gen2 cartridges are read only.
