Media density Hcart....
Hi all!
i have a new Sl3000 with drives LTO4 and LTO5 (LTO4 for restores from LTO2 media).
i need manually change LTO5 media to a different density (hcart or hcart3) and create barcode...

I think barcodes would be the easiest way here so make the barcodes for the new tapes totally different
I believe that the barcode tag works from the start of the bar code so if you current ones are ABC make the new ones CBA to distinguish them (or even just start the with a 5 - so 5AB for LTO5 ones)
You can then set the barcode rules - set the drives densities themselves to be matching and all your current LTO5 tapes change to the new density using:
vmchange -new_mt -m 5AB123 hcart3
Hope this all makes sense!
