LTO drives are read compatible for two previous generations and write compatible for one previous.

Your 3580-H11 is LTO-1, the L43 is LTO-4. You can't jump a gap that wide. You need an LTO-2 or -3 drive to read the tapes created on the 3580-H11.

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?

Jerry
