you got it.
 
You've got to configure it as the same "density", ie hcart2, as your
existing drives and media.
 
I would LOVE to see Netbackup implement a proper hierarchical density
structure to match the common drive types on the market, so it would
automatically know that an LTO3 drive can read and write LTO2 media, and
read LTO media.

        Well,  My boss just got me a new LTO3 drive to put in my
library.  I asked for an LTO2 as I already have 2 of these in the lib
and 100's of tapes but I have one nonetheless
        
        The lib sees the drive as does NetBackup but it says that there
are no tapes available...barcode reader I'm sure.  
        
        Is there a way to make the LTO3 use the LTO2 tapes and write to
them at the proper density ?
        
        I tried changing the type to hcart2 as my others are but it did
not take.  I may have to restart services but have to wait for some jobs
to finish.  Figured I'd throw it up to the group while I wait.
