There is no way for backup exec or any other software except data protector to read your tapes.

You must Keep your data protector or use an old server to install data protector

first, you are in netbackup forum, not backup exec.

My thoughts on your problem.

Although in general there is compatibility between IBM and HP tape drives, I have many cases that a tape written in one drive can not be read on another vendor drive.
Also, if you are using encryption, had you configure the new tape for encryption in the KMS software?

First, thanks for reply.
I was using DataProtector Express software for backup the LTO-4 tapes, now with this LTO-6 i am using Veritas Backup Exec but both my TapeDrive are HPE.
And also i am not using encryption.
