You'd have to also change the drive type in the storage unit.
Probably need to restart NBU after this change.

I'm not sure if you need to delete and readd or not, it's the easier
way, but if you really care about mount counts, etc, you might be able
to vmchange the tapes (looks like you could).

If you have barcode rules they may need to be adjusted.
