Paul,
my answer at your questions are:
1/ You can wrote on DLT IV on DLT 4000 and read the DLT IV on DLT 7000 , it
seems to look good.

2/ After your upgrade you can use the same DLT IV on the DLT 7000.

3/ An exemple of your st.conf definition:
        Q-DLT7000 = 1,0x36,0,0x29639,4,0x84,0x83,0x0,0x85,3;

Subject: [Veritas-bu] DLT 4000 to DLT 7000 conversion

We are using NetBackup 3.2 on a SUN4000 (Solaris 2.6) and using two STK
9710 silos with 10 DLT 4000 each. Our plan is to upgrade the tape drives
to DLT 7000s. The questions are:

  1. Will NetBackup be able to read existing backup tapes ( the DLT IV 
      carts are used )

  2. After the upgrade will the tapes be written in DLT7000 mode or
must      the tapes be blank labeled 

  3. I have seen several different DLT7000 definitions for the st.conf
      file .... what is correct


Thanks for the help,

Paul
