Netbackup complained that I'm out of free tapes last night.  So this
morning I ran a media report on that media server.  

When I do, it shows me 8 FULL tapes.  Since there are 37 tapes in the
robot, are the rest empty?  

When I run a 'media contents' report on one of the tapes that doesn't
get reported as full, this is what I get.

[sjc01-netbackup] media id = HQ1001, allocated 04/11/00 20:40,
retention level = 0

[sjc01-netbackup] File number 1
[sjc01-netbackup]   Backup id = proddw_0955500044
[sjc01-netbackup]   Creation date = 04/11/00 20:40
[sjc01-netbackup]   Expiration date = 04/18/00 20:40
[sjc01-netbackup]   Retention level = 0
[sjc01-netbackup]   Copy number = 1
[sjc01-netbackup]   Fragment number = 2
[sjc01-netbackup]   Block size (in bytes) = 32768


I can't run a 'images on media' report for this volume, the report
dies.  It only allows the other 8 tapes to be used.  I presume from
this that the media has no images on it.  

Is there a specific command I can run to ask "how many writeable tapes
are present in this robot?"

Thanks...
