Removing / replacing tape in cycle

First off - apologies, I know I've asked this before, and I'm sure it'saddressed in the docs somewhere, but I've been searching for 30 minutesand I can't find either, so I humbly ask again (because I need to fix itbefore tonight :-)

I've had a tape go bad on me. Its label is CIS-008 in config CIS. Whatare the proper steps to remove this tape from the cycle and add a newone? Is this it?


# amrmtape CIS CIS-008
# (load fresh tape in the drive)

# amlabel CIS CIS-XXX (where XXX is the next in the series I haven'tused yet?)

Do I need to then edit the tapelist by hand? Or alternately, do I justwant to remove the bad tape, put in a fresh one, and label it CIS-008(knowing that if I then need a backup that was on the bad CIS-008 Amandawill become confused)?

Also, amrmtape seems for when a tape goes bad (which is my currentsituation) but is there a different procedure for when you just want toretire a tape? Something like:


# amadmin CIS no-reuse CIS-008

(Will Amanda then prompt for a new tape to get back to desired number oftapes? Or do I just load a fresh tape and...)

# amlabel CIS CIS-XXX

Thanks, and sorry again for re-asking.
