bplable requires the -p POOLNAME as well.

If you have a library the command

bplabel -ev $MID -d $DEN -p $PNAME

will request the mount of the tape.

However, you don't need to relabel after you unfreeze a tape.  The label is
still there.  If you are questioning the label, then put a -o to force an
overwrite of the label.

  I'm using NB 3.4 with a dual drive TLD robot and one my tapes keeps
getting frozen as soon as a backup is attempted on that tape. I can unfreeze
it without problems.
  I thought I should bplabel this tape (still not sure) and whenever I
issue:
  bplabel -ev 000001 -d dlt
  I get Requested number of drives are not configured.

  I get the same message if I issue bplabel -ev 000001 -d dlt -n
QUANTUMDLT70000.

  Must the tape be in the drive in standalone mode or will the robot load
the tape?

  Thanks,
