Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape conversion

Thanks Mark – it appears only re-labeling required (thank goodness). Thanks very much for your help. Susan

I would LOVE it if re-label would work!!

I’m wondering whether we need to buy a degausser?

I would like a 3592 drive prior to E05 to be able to use a tape that got written to by an E05. Tape are coming back to the scratch pool that got written to by an E05 drive, and when a 3592 tries to use it the tape becomes frozen.

You can check with the IBM backward compatible matrice (E05 is a drive that can use it)

I think re-label would be all you need for a write over.

anyone else ?

Does anyone know how to make a tape written by an E06 drive be usable again by drives older than E06?

Is a full erasure in order for each tape, is it good enough to just re-label…does anyone happen to know off hand?

Thanks much.
