Hi,
can anyone help me change the density of tape drive from HCART2 to HCART?
Thanks,

You need to run
tpconfig -update -drive -index 1 -type hcart
tpconfig -update -drive -index 3 -type hcart
There is an option in the GUI, when you x2 click the drive, you should get the drop down list where you can select the density,
But no matter, the command line should do the trick, you will need to restart ltid.
stopltid
then restart with ltid -v.
I don't know what you mean by "how to change the robot" - change the robot to what ?

tpconfig -update -drive -index <drv index> -type hcart
The drive index can be seen in tpconfig -d output, it is the number on the left, 0, 1, 2 etc ...
The tpconfig command is in the volmgr/bin dir

Yes I've tried from GUI.
But no option available for change to HCART2 to HCART.

When run the tpconfig -d, output is
Id DriveName Type Residence
SCSI coordinates/Path Status
****************************************************************************
0 IBM.ULT3580-TD4.000 hcart TLD(0) DRIVE=1
{1,0,0,0} UP
1 IBM.ULT3580-HH5.000 hcart2 TLD(1) DRIVE=2
{1,0,1,0} UP
2 IBM.ULT3580-TD4.001 hcart TLD(0) DRIVE=2
{2,0,0,0} UP
3 IBM.ULT3580-HH5.001 hcart2 TLD(1) DRIVE=1
{2,0,1,0} UP
Currently defined robotics are:
TLD(0) SCSI coordinates = {2,0,0,1}
TLD(1) SCSI coordinates = {2,0,1,1}
EMM Server = mumvbk01
how to change the robot ?

why not just delete the hcart2 drives, and reconfigrue them to be hcart?

tried that also.
It is not asking to change density during configuration.

The command resolves the issue.
Thanks for the solution.

Jusr for future reference - drive type/density can be changed in the GUI as well (done this many times):
