Go into your barcode rules add something like.

######L2 - hcart2 (current) Scratch

######L3 - hcart3 (new rule) Scratch

You might want to get rid of a <DEFAULT> rule in this case.

Netbackup will only use hcart2 media with hcart2 tape drives and 3 with 3 etc...

Depending on your version it might say 1/2 inch cartridge (hcart.)

Hello,

We have IBM tape library with LTO-2 drives and planing to add LTO-3 drives and LTO-3 tapes to it.

How to configure netbackup infrastructure to use different drive types with single robot?

Does Drive wizard detect new drives correctly or we need add drives manually? Is new volume group fot LTO-3 needed for tape operations?

Thank you very much, Sergey
