Backup Exec 2012 don't write on empty tape
Hi there,
we replaced some tapes in our HP tape library cause the end marker was not readable and the fatal write and read errors were increased.
After an inventory the new tapes are shown by BE2012, but the library won't use these new tapes.
I allocated them to the right media set with an overwrite protection of 3 weeks. The append period is set to infinite.
While looking at the details page of the media I noticed that the "storage state" is set to "not suitable".
Is there any explanation why BE do this?

Initially you need to assign the media to the scratch media set. So that the media can be picked up during next backup.
When you assign media to any media set it immediately inherits the OPP and AP of the media set.
