Do I need to change  hcart for  tape LTO4  when I have library robotics has drive LTO5?

"Only LTO4 tapes without barcode"

"I'm also using a barcode rule as hcart3"

Barcode rules are not applicable to non-barcoded media.

If your library has a barcode reader, PLEASE get some barcodes before you start using the tapes...

You other issues (compatibility and down drives) should be addressed in a new thread.

Hi

final note here:

You only have one sort of tape, LTO4, and one type of drive, LTO5.

So all you need to do is ensure that all of your tapes have the same denisity as the drives.

Your tapes are hcart2 so you need to make sure the drives and storage units are also hcart2.

And i agree with Marianne - you really should have barcodes on yoru tapes, otherwise you bar code rules wont do anything anyway?

Also agree with Marianne that you need to mark a solution now and open a new thread for the 96 erro if you want to.

Hope we have all helped
