What I normally do when I get new tapes is that I import them in the library
so that they go to my SCRATCH pool.
This way NBU has them in the media database.

And they should stay there until you delete the tapes. That they expire and
become SCRATCH again doesn't remove them from the media database.

So where you tapes are, I can't tell, but I would check the vol=ser numbers
of the tapes you have in the media database compared to the labels you have
used.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Running out of tapes

I need to order some tapes but I want to account for all of the tapes I
have before hand.  I've got about 230 LTO-3 in my hand kept inventory
but when I run a media list  report from Netbackup it states I only have
120 tapes.

Anyone have a clue as to what happened to the other 130 tapes?  I know
they are either in the library or offsite but since the media report
does not list those 120 tapes I don't know if they are expired.  I
suppose I can assume so but I'd like to understand why they are not in
the media report first.
