Re: [Veritas-bu] Reclaiming tapes to the scratch volume pool

It depends on the version of NetBackup. Older versions won't move the tapes to the scratch pool automatically whereas the newer versions do. What version of NBU are you running? Windows or Unix?
To manually move the tapes, look for an assigned date of "00/00/0000"

I've run into a
problem where my scratch volume pool is empty. However, I have tons of
empty tapes (can easily list with Aptare) that just happen to be assigned to
other specific pools. I can manually run bpimmedia on these empty tapes to
verify that there are no images on them. But if I try to change the volume
group on them via the GUI to scratch (or the Netbackup pool), I get the "cannot
change volume pool for assigned media (91)" error.
If there are no
images on the tape, what's the problem? I thought once images expired on
tapes, they were supposed to automatically be kicked back out to a scratch pool
anyway. I've found a few places where I can manually force a tape into a
different volume, but it is pretty strongly suggested that you *not* do it that
way.
Any
suggestions?
