Hi
You will need to configure one of the drives for HCART - If I am reading
your post correct, you are trying to read an LTO1 tape into an LTO2 drive?
If so this should help.... 

By putting this tape into the library / Drive, Netbackup will be trying to
look for an LTO Drive.

>From the Devices / Robot field, select a drive, and you should have an
option to select change. You want to amend the general attributes for the
drive and change it from HCART2 to HCART

I have to run this when re-reading any LTO1 tapes in my LTO3 Library.

Hope this is of some help!

Hmmm...

Likely that the underlying device is issuing some sort of message that
NetBackup doesn't like. Which FP/MP of 4.5? What is the OS of the media
server?

Check the underlying OS message file on the media server for clues.

Speculation: There may be an issue with the LTO driver you're using not
automatically reading the LTO1 tapes as it should. Whenever possible, the
latest stable driver for the tape and the OS of the media server should be
used. This sort of sounds like issues with an LTO driver or a generic scsi
tape driver.

We are currently backing up a system with LTO gen 1 drives/media and trying
to 
recover using LTO gen 2 drives (LTO 1 drives are IBM and LTO 2 drives are
HP). 
We are using NBU 4.5 and when the LTO 1 tapes are loaded into the gen 2
drive, 
the drives are downed. Any ideas what can be causing this is appreciated.
