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

Have you tried to right-click on drive name in the GUI?

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}

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.

I will change drive007 to hcart
 
rdgv240sol22 # tpconfig -update -drive -index 7 -type hcart
Updated drive < Drive007 > of type hcart in configuration

7   Drive007             hcart  TLD(2)  DRIVE=2
      nrst1a (rdgf270c-01)   
      
 
Simple as that.
 
You'll need to restart ltid to allow it to be used correctly.

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