We got a restore request, which is backedup on hcart2 tape drive of robot 0 [which is already decommissioned]. Now we have robot 1 with hcart3 tape drives including storage unit type.
 
In short we have two robots for a single master server.
 
Restore job showing as mounting... mounting .... no progress.
 
If i want to workout this restore, do i need to change the storage unit type to hcart2 rather than hcart3 ?

We have had success by changing the type 3 drive to a type 2 drive, in Devices, Drives, highlight drive, Change Tape Drive. If changing only one drive type for the restore, it may be necessary to temporarily Down the other drive in, Device Monitor, highlight drive and Down Drive.

Hi, Not sure of your total configuration of the drives for robot 1 and 3, but it might be as simple as running the vmchange command to set the tape id BSO916 to hcart3.  If your drives are set to hcart3 and the media type for BSO916 is hcart2, then the robot/NetBackup may not know what to do with the tape.  vmchange -h [volume_database_host] -new_mt hcart3 -m BSO916.

Just a suggestion.  Hope it works.
