Possibly because of the number of mounts 941.
Netbackup favors new tapes I believe.

I've got an issue with expired tapes that arent showing up as available
to be used for backup.
Here is an example.
I have a tape A00008 sitting in slot 6 of a Sun L280 tape robot, It
doesn't understand barcodes.
bpmedialist -m A00008
requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume
database
vmquery -m A00008
============================================================================
====
media ID: A00008
media type: DLT cartridge tape (11)
barcode: --------
media description: Added by Media Manager
volume pool: NetBackup (1)
robot type: TLD - Tape Library DLT (8)
robot number: 0
robot slot: 6
robot control host: vgn1
volume group: 00_000_TLD
vault name: ---
vault sent date: ---
vault return date: ---
vault slot: ---

============================================================================

The available_media command shows the tape as available
NetBackup pool
A00024 DLT NONE - - - 1 36228160 ACTIVE
A00002 DLT NONE - - - - - AVAILABLE
A00003 DLT TLD 0 3 - - - AVAILABLE
A00006 DLT NONE - - - - - AVAILABLE
A00008 DLT TLD 0 6 - - - AVAILABLE
Why won't Netbackup see this tape and use it?
Probably something simple but I can't seem to get it to work. I've
searched the archives for anything useful on this but can find nothing.
Can someone help me out or point me to where I can find out how to make
this, and other tapes sitting the robot now available and let Netbackup
use it?
