Take all the tapes out of the existing library and "update inventory".

Delete the robot and drives from Netbackup's config.

Connect new robot, configure robot and drives.
Put all tape in new library and update inventory.

Are your tapes all LTO3 tapes?

If not, remember that and LTO3 drive will read LTO1 and LTO2, but only
write to LTO2, and the drive must be configured as the same media type,
in order to use it.
