Hi All,
I have an issue with a couple of me backup tapes where Netbackup does not want to write to them.
We are running Netbackup 7.5 with a MSL 2024 tape library
All our backups is writing to a staging area and ones a day we duplicate the staging data to backup tapes. Yesterday I noticed that some of the duplication failed and Netbackup reported that the are no media available however three were two tapes available (NZB035 &NZB046) and they part of the scratch pool. These two tape have both been written to in the past.
Erro : unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available(96)
I have inserted other tapes (NZB002 & NZB037) also part of the scratch pool and was able to duplicate the staging data to those tapes.
I have also tried to relabel the tape but then I get “error requesting media (tpreq)(98)”
Any idea why I cannot write to the tape NZB035 and NZB046?
