Tried bplabel, get:
CHIMISC1:[admincmd] 1:43pm >./bplabel -ev 000009 -d hcart -p scratch
Request terminated because of volume pool mismatch
CHIMISC1:[admincmd] 1:44pm >./bplabel -ev 000011 -d hcart -p scratch
Request terminated because of volume pool mismatch
I am very confident these 2 tapes have never been used for dbbackups
but I can't seem to get them into a scratch pool...
TIA,
John
