The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

You don't tell us what the new system is. As Chris said, you can't read an
LTO1 tape on an LTO4 (Read only goes back 2 generations). Also, the H11 is
a high Voltage SCSI LTO1 tape drive, which means you are connecting this to
a 2749 tape controller which requires an IOP. Therefore, you couldn't put
that adapter on a Power7 machine.

Subject: LTO tape drives
We have a 3580-H11 tape drive on an older system.
We have a 3580-L43/S43 tape drive on a new system.
I cannot read a tape from the old system on the new system tape drive.
It reports a tape media issue. Density?
I cannot move the H11 to the new system for lack of IOA resources.
Is there an easy way to resolve this?
