How can we identify the tape is write protected
How can we identify the tape is write protected in netbackup gui
You can't.
The write protected switch is something that the tape drive detect upon loading the cartridge. The robot can't sense this formation and pass it on to Netbackup.
Only alternative is inspecting bptm logs for read only messages.
