Hmmm...

Likely that the underlying device is issuing some sort of message that
NetBackup doesn't like. Which FP/MP of 4.5? What is the OS of the media
server?

Check the underlying OS message file on the media server for clues.

Speculation: There may be an issue with the LTO driver you're using not
automatically reading the LTO1 tapes as it should. Whenever possible, the
latest stable driver for the tape and the OS of the media server should be
used. This sort of sounds like issues with an LTO driver or a generic scsi
tape driver.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] LTO 1 recovery using LTO 2 drive.

We are currently backing up a system with LTO gen 1 drives/media and trying
to 
recover using LTO gen 2 drives (LTO 1 drives are IBM and LTO 2 drives are
HP). 
We are using NBU 4.5 and when the LTO 1 tapes are loaded into the gen 2
drive, 
the drives are downed. Any ideas what can be causing this is appreciated.
