You said your Library was a PowerVault right? Im sure thats LTO -
Thought it was some sort of entry level library.
Entry should be something like HCART4 with tpconfig -d
Within the GUI, open the Admin Console:
Goto Devices
Expand Drives.
On the right hand side window, look at Drive Type.
If you right click on a Drive and choose CHANGE, you should be able to
see a selection of drives you can choose. For example, 1/2" Cartridge
(hcart3)
