[Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.1 tape selection problem

Hi all.  We are running 5.1 of Netbackup Enterprise for Solaris, when
executing a backup, Netbackup skips over valid tapes in the pool, and
even tries some in other pools, then fails with code 96.  I included the
bptm log entries for the backup.  The retention level is 1, and you can
see it only tries to select two tapes from the Tools-Data pool, 0242L1
which is retention 3, and 0227L1 which is retention 3.  It does not
select the valid ACTIVE tapes 0234L1 and 0244L1.  Then it tries to
select tapes in other pools, one with a retention of 9.  I am not sure
why it does not select the valid tapes, and why it tries other tapes in
other pools?  Can anyone help explain this odd behavior?

Thanks,  Jeff
