I have in the past changed drive density without restarting ltid. Worked fine.
You probably had a problem previously because densities did not match.
Let us know how things work out. We should be able to assist if you run into issues.

Simply ensure that media and drive density is the same.
If tape to be restored is configured in NBU as hcart3, change 1 tape drive (LTO4 or LTO5) to hcart3.
Change back after restore has completed.

Are we doing this change via tpconfig utility or from GUI.
This is a solaris 10 environemnt.
Thanks

Either way, makes no difference. I guess the GUI is a bit easier.

Assuming we did this from GUI, we need to restart LTID on the media server with the drive I think.
I will give it a try and get back.I remember doing htis some times inthe past but did not work as the drive acnnot mount he tape.Valid Bar code Rules in place among others
