I added a 2nd autoloader to our NB 5.0 server yesterday.

When i added my original autoloader under 4.5 the wizard said the lto2 
drive was hcart.

When i added the 2nd autoloader to nb 5.0 it added it the lto2 drive as 
hcart2.

Anyway, now i got hcart2 and hcart media types on the server.

I'd like to change all my hcart media to hcart2.

I can do this by expiring the tape bpexpdate and then deleting the entry 
in my media lists. This works fine for media that has expired and is going 
back into the rotation.

However I don't want to expire the images for my offsite monthend tapes. I 
also need to get the catalog tapes moved over to hcart2.

Is there a way to change the media type to hcart2 via the command line? I 
can't seem to find a way in the admin console.

Thanks,
KFR
