How do I change the media type for a tape in NetBackup?

The vmchange command can be used to change the media type of a tape.

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -new_mt media_type -m media_id

An example is below:

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -new_mt hcart_clean -m CNL123

The command above will change the tape CLN123 to a hcart_clean type.

4mm, 8mm, 8mm2, 8mm3, dlt, dlt2, dlt3, dtf, hcart, hcart2, hcart3, odiskwm, odiskwo, qcart, 4mm_clean, 8mm_clean, 8mm2_clean, 8mm3_clean, dlt_clean, dlt2_clean, dlt3_clean, dtf_clean, hcart_clean, hcart2_clean, hcart3_clean.
