If your tapes are already marked recyclable, all you need to do is enable the 
"auto media management" feature in the NetWorker tape library configuration and 
possibly adjust your pool settings to allow the pools those tapes are a member 
of to be re-used. I suggest you consult the NetWorker administrator's guide for 
tape media management to get an idea of what the options are. Unless you are 
trying to recycle tapes early, you should not need to do anything more than 
what I just described.
