Hi we run Solstice 6.1 from a Solaris box which is attached to HP Surestorage 
4/40 tape library. The tape library and the sun box are on a giga switch 
(private network with 192.168.x.x IP address). The tapes are Ultrium 100GB 
native capacity tapes. I have created 2 pools UNIX and NT. The UNIX backup is 
for 3 servers and NT has 4 servers. The NT has full backup on 1st of each month 
and incremental there after and the retention period is 15 days. The NT backup 
does not finish the backup. We do not do more than 50GB incremental backup 
daily. Under the volumes tab in the solstice tool, I see the following:
  volume              barcoce  pool  written %used Mode Expiration location
  BD4540L1 BD4540L1 NT      109GB full           09/15/06   HP_ULTRIUM
  BD4540L2 BD4540L2 NT      102GB full           09/25/06   HP_ULTRIUM
  so on......
  What I want to know is how can I set the tapes to be automatically recycled 
when they expire. I have tried changing the mode to auto but after sometime, 
the tapes expire and do not get recycled and I get the "waiting for a writable 
volume for pool nt" message. Can anyone please advise. Thanks a lot.
