Restore from a standalone drive fail
I have old NetBackup setup and we have restore request now.
FS Backup was done using a robotic library few years back and now the robot has broken.
Tape devices are working fine, so we have configure the tape drive as stand alone drive for restore only.
the required tape is loaded in the tape drive but the restore is failing with below error.

how do we fix the issue ?
- Hi
Run this
vmchange - m A01594 -new_mt hcart2
By doing So the tape will match the drive type, than your restore should progress.
