When you did import the volume into media db (scanenr -m),
it used device media type of the device you used to
scan the tape because networker is not aware which kind
of media you are importing to. Normal behaviour for me.
If you want to have it known as a LTO-3 tape, you will have
to delete the tape record from mediadb (remove volume)
and retry scanner -m operation on a LTO-3 Type tape device.

Subject: [Networker] mminfo reports wrong media type?
Scanned some save sets from an LTO-3 tape on an LTO-4 drive using '-m'
option, not '-i'. Scan identified it as an LTO Ultrium-4 tape, but
everything scanned fine. However, mminfo reports the type as 'Ultrium
LTO-4'? mminfo does report all the information correctly, though, e.g.
name,client,savetime,ssid, etc. I can mount the tape and recover the data
just fine. How can I get mminfo to report it as an LTO-3?
I tried rerunning the scan as:
scanner -s server -t 'LTO Ultrium-3' device
This time scanner reported is an LTO Ultrium-3, but mminfo still reports the
volume as an LTO-4.
Thanks.
George
