Ueli also had the excellent idea of expiring a tape to keep NB from
selecting it.

NetBackup assigns the tape before freezing it.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Freezing a non-assigned tape

When I try to freeze a non-assigned tape using the "bpmedia" command, I get
an error since there's no images on the tape.

Netbackup seems to be able to freeze a non-assigned tape when there's
trouble mounting it or similar.

How can I do this myself?
