In my opinion,
The only thing you can do is to create new pools with new device class
and format LTO4 and put the new pools in production.
Then you have to set the nextstgpool parameter of old stgpools with the
name of the new ones created, if you want to migrate all the data now.
If not then wait for data expiration.
If you want to accelerate the process then you should migrate, or do
move data's to put information on new pools.
The problem is that we can not update the device class setting of a
stgpool because the device class specifies the recording format so it is
something like the nature of a stgpool that could not be changed.
Hope this helps !!

Iban,
We were using the IBM driver but the generictape in TSM. Yes, they are IBM LTO4 drives.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Moving from Generictape device class to LTO device class
Are they LTO drives from IBM ¿?
Were you using the generic device driver of the OS or were you using the IBM
device driver ¿?
Depending on how it was configured we can try one way or another ...
Let me know !!

Folks,
About five months ago, I created a device class of generictape to use
LTO4 drives in a new STORServer I built. Now, with the newest version
of TSM, LTO4 is supported and the library knows about them and
generictape won't work anymore (wrong kind of mountpoint in the
library).
Anybody have a clever way of getting my generic tape volumes into my
new LTO storage pool?
