Our problem is that if we use a tape in the 160/320 drive we cannot use it in the 110/220. This problem occurs even if we just erase the tape in the SDLT160, then it is shown as unreadable in the SDLT110. We cannot format it or erase it in the SDLT110.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

SolutionUnfortunately, this is by design of SDLT drives. If a tape was formatted by a SDLT 320 drive, then it is incompatible with a SDLT 220 drive.
Vice-versa is not true though. If a tape was formatted by a SDLT 220 drive, it can still be read AND written by a SDLT 320 drive.
See page 13 of the following document:

Re: SDLT Tape problems
A cdrom containing a very easy tool is included with your SDLT drive.
It's called Set density.
It's java based and it's available for different platforms.

Re: SDLT Tape problems
Some more info on this tool is in order i think.
With Set density it's possible to change the density of a tape in a drive.
When you want to use/format/label/read/write a 110/220 tape in a 160/320 drive while still being able to use it in a 110/220 drive, use Set density to change the density off that tape.
Greetings,
Perry

Re: SDLT Tape problems
The tool for changing compression rates on sdlt tapes is called Density Select.
I don't know how i came up with set density, but ok.
