I totally agree with what Don is saying, it makes much more sense to change the density of the new drives to match the old drives and change any new LTO4 media that's been put in to match as well. Not only is there probably more to change if you're changing all of the old media to the new media

To use the drives for regular backups, you have to present the drives to the NetApp and the Media Server(s). The SSO Option also has to be installed for this drive sharing to be enabled. Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage Engineer ▪ SunGard Availability Services ▪ 757 N. Eldridge Suite

One of the things that come to mind for me is as the tapes expire - have them OUT of the robot and delete them from NB - they must have no good data on them, but you know this already. Then set up a barcode rule for new tapes and put the old ones back in to come in has the type you need. Not sure

LTO1 & LTO2 is where I had my crossover point. You can go into the media database (vmchange) & change the media type on the LTO3 tapes to be the same as your LTO4. The drives will read & write these tapes, they'll dumb down to the format automatically. I marked mine with a comment that reminded
