[Veritas-bu] The drive is not ready or inoperable - bplabel

I hooked an exabyte EXB-8500 tape drive to a sparc solaris 8 host with
NetBackup 4.5 business server.  Sgscan and Admin console wizard discovers
the drive with no problem. The drive responds to mt and tar so it's
operating on the OS level without any errors.  However when I use bplabel to
create my volumes, I get "The drive is not ready or inoperable" error.
available_media reads okay and tpconfig -d lists the drive and displays it
status as up.  Any ideas why bplabel won't work?
Thanks in advance

Prince
