    Change the drive on the media server. You can do it in the GUI or use tpconfig

     

     

    (Update drive)
       tpconfig -update -drive <drvindex>
                [-type <drvtype>] [-path <drivepath>]
                [-nh <ndmp_hostname>] [-noverify]
                [-vhname <optical_volume_header_drive_name>]
                [-newasciiname <asciidrvname>] [-shared [yes|no]]
                [-cleanfreq <hours>] [-comment <comment>]
                [-drstatus UP|DOWN|DISABLED] [-robot <robnum> -robtype <robtype>]
                [-robdrnum <robdrvnum> | -VendorDrvName <vendor_drive_name>]
                [-ACS <acsnum> -LSM <lsmnum> -PANEL <panelnum> -DRIVE <drivenum>]
     
     
    tpconfig -update -drive <drv index> -newasciiname <name>
    that should do it - give it a try.
     
    You will need to restart media manager once done
