I could well be wrong, but the SCRATCH pool that you show, appears to "know"
about media, but there does not appear to be any media in the library.

Have you verified there are new or tapes actually available in the robot?
Most appear to be in a FULL state.

I am new to netbackup and I have the following problem, over the weekend my 
backups did fail. Here what it did say:
unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available(96)

so I did take al ook at the web to search for the following message and I
got 
few links that i did follow: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/277442.htm
and
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1058612&page=6

first did describe not to have SCRATCH pool in policy and the other to
expire 
media. here is my situation since I think I did check both and I just dont
know 
what else to do.

after running available_media:
bash-2.05# ./bin/goodies/available_media
media   media   robot   robot   robot   side/   ret    size     status
  ID     type    type      #     slot    face    level  KBytes

TEST pool



ok, so I have tapes in my SCRATCH pool, so then I am trying to make sure
that 
media lets say JZ0631 is expired for sure so I run the following command:
bash-2.05# ./bpexpdate -m JZO631 -d 0 Are you SURE you want to delete JZO631
y/n (n)? y requested media id was not found in the EMM database


when I type bpimmedia I get nothing.
bash-2.05# ./bpimmedia -mediaid JZ0631
no entity was found

What am I doing wrong? I cant restart my backups because it does claim I
have no 
media, how can I fix this problem?

Thanks for any help. I have support with netbackup so i can call them but I 
wanted to see if I could get help from this group first... Thanks again for
any 
hints or suggestions.

Chris
