NBU- Business server  v4.5   on Solaris 2.8.

I am trying to use the tape drives for non-NBU activity, as described in
Veritas document #236443.
(  http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/236443.htm
<http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/236443.htm>   )

I am unable to use the tape or drive.  I get the following results:
=================
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin$ tpreq -m BSU001 -d dlt -p test-scratchpool -f
/tmp/mytape
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin$ mt -f /tmp/mytape rewind
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin$ mt -f /tmp/mytape erase 
/tmp/mytape: write protected or reserved.       < ========  !!!!!
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin$ mt -f /tmp/mytape status
Quantum DLT7000 tape drive:
   sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense   residual= 0   retries= 0
   file no= 0   block no= 0
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin$ 
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin$ 
===================

Any ideas as to what causes this?
