Make sure you have in your bp.conf file:

ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = CPIO
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = AOS/VS
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = MTF1

Make sure NBU re-reads the bp.conf file after updating it.

If NBU sees a tape label format it does not recognize, it will FREEZE the
tape. The parameters shown above, when placed into bp.conf file, will force
NBU to overwrite the label and use the tape normally.

Hi

I am using Netbackup DataCentre4.5GA on solaris 8
There where some tapes in frozen state.
I used bpmedia -unfreeze -m xxxxxx,
then moved them to scratch pool.
But when these tapes where taken by some volume pool
these tapes went back into Frozen state.
What might be the problem? Are these tapes are BAD?

Regards
Ashok
