You can change the media type with the following commands on the master
server.

The following command will change the media type in the image database
on the master and the media database (mediaDB) on the media server:

cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

/bpmedia -m {mediaid} -changeden -new {new_media_type}


The following command will change the media type in the volume database
(volDB) on the master:

cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin

/vmchange -m {mediaid} -new_mt {new_media_type}

The 'new_media_type' is in lower case (dlt, dlt2, or dlt3) in both
commands.

Easiest would be to configure the new drives as DLT2.
 
even if the old media were configured as HCARTII, Netbackup wouldn't put
them into a drive defined as HCARTIII.
 
It would be nice if Netbackup had "types" that were defined according to
the established compatibility hierarchy of various drive types, but that
doesn't seem to be the case.

        Hi !

         

        I have a situation where an LTO II tape drive has been defined
as drives of type DLT2 (instead of hcart II) and the system was being
used and all the LTO II tapes are identified as DLTII tapes. 

         

        Now during a migration / upgrade to a new tape libraray with LTO
III drives I will be defining tape drives as hcart III. The task is to
be able to use the old media from existing setup which is defined as dlt
II type in the new setup. 

         

        Any suggestion other then expiring and importing the images.

         

        Thanks

         

        Ayaz
