NetBackup never moves tapes to NONE. You are right that a frozen tape
is an assigned tape and can't be moved from its current pool.
However, some of us unfreeze the tape and "change" it from it's current
pool to a "cesspool" (I use "Baudelaire"), where it sits until I get a
chance to erase it, test it, eye-ball it or whatever, before putting it
back in service or discarding it. The key for me is that I can't erase
it while it is assigned. If I just bpexpdate (expire) it, it will go
back to Scratch and be available for a new write.

Good question! I have no idea.

You have some options wrt cleaning your tape drives. If your library
does it, NetBackup doesn't even see the cleaning tape. If NetBackup is
to use them, I think (skepticism = high!) the cleaning tape(s) must be
in the NONE pool.
