If you haven't done so already, I'd open a call with VERITAS Support.

This shouldn't happen under normal circumstances.

What version NBU are you running?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Full Tape question

Hi all, a question about full tapes.

I have a script I wrote called deassign_full_media.  The criteria is it
compares a listing of full media from that days media summary report,
looking for only tapes that report as FULL.  Also, I only let it look
for tapes in our regular pool, not the scratch/NetBackup/other pools.
Once I find a full tape still in the library (I run this after the
ejects because it should have been sent offsite if it has a valid image,
and we aren't storing dupes in the library) I then have it do a
bpimmedia -l -mediaid ###### and if I get a "no entity was found"
message, then I know I have a tape that has been marked full but doesn't
have a valid image on it.  So it should be logical to go ahead and
deassign the tape.

So my question is does anyone have an idea what could cause a tape to
report as full even if it doesn't have a valid image on it?

Thanks,
Taylor
