Hi Waever,
I agree with you that netbackup will refuse any other media type except
the one the drive matches. My question is whether NetBackup will adjust
the density to the type of the drive (equal type of the media).
I mean if I set drive density to hcart2 for hcart3 drive, what would the
capacity for that media be? Is it like hcart3 regardless of the setting
in netbackup ? I will use T10000A FC. I am thinking what shoud the media
type be? I am thinking to set the media type to hcart3. However, on the
other location, there is a robot in LTO3 format. I am afraid that if
that medias came to that site and they were put to that library,
T10000A would try to mount it and T10000A would be damaged due to that.
I am thinking to set the media type to one which is absent from any
other location. So, Could you please explain us what the drive type
means in netbackup world? How is it important?
Regards,

If I understand the question correctly, if you set a drive which is
usually HCART3 and then change to HCART2, NetBackup treats the drive as
HCART2 - but I do not think it will load any HCART3 tapes in the robot.
The reason why I say this, is because I had to perform a restore using
an old HCART tape - drives are set for HCART3 - if the density is not
changed, Netbackup refuses the restore.
If I change the density to HCART, netbackup uses the drive for the
restore from HCART tape.

Hi All,
I have a question. Is the NetBackup adjusting density according to the
drive type? I mean if I set drive density to hcart2 for hcart3 drive,
what would the capacity for that media? Is it like hcart3 regardless of
the setting in netbackup?
Regards,
