Hi,

We have installed Netbackup 6.5 on RHEL 4,  we are able to take backup on LTO4 tapes.
the storage is  IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library.

Kindly let us know how to configure LTO3 in netbackup

Not really sure what you mean by how to configure the LTO3 drives but the process should be similar to how you configured the LTO4 drives.  If you're talking about drive densities you can select any of the half-inch cartidges (hcart, hcart2, hcart3).  To separate your media you would use a different density setting than what your LTO4 drives are using.

when a inventory is made it is detecting the lto3 tapes, but it is not getting displayed in the Media.

Configure drive as hcart2.

Hi All,

Thanks for the support, 

We have found the solution, The LTO 3 tapes were not labled with Barcode that is the reason we could not configure the backup.

Created Barcode for the LTO 3 tapes and the tapes were detected while doing a Inventory and displaying in Media.  Now we are able to take backup in both the tapes LTO 3 & 4 with out changing the hcart.
