Subject: [Veritas-bu] DLT Tape Containing MTF1-format data


I am running Veritas Netbackup DataCenter 3.4.1 patched at NB_34_2.  I have 
DLT7000 drives in an STK9710 which were
just upgraded to V106 microcode yesterday.  I put several DLT tapes back in the 
robot for reuse and received an error in the
logs that reads:
 
    FREEZING media id 001767, it contains MTF1-format data and cannot be used 
for backups.
 
Has anyone ever seen this before or know how to deal with it?
