    Nope.

    Most of the tapes that are in the robot are FULL.

    SEFR00  HCART2   TLD      0       45     -       5     1647419814       FULL
    SEFR01  HCART2   TLD      0       3      -       5     1756323948       FULL
    SEFR02  HCART2   TLD      0       4      -       5     1560334735       FULL
    SEFR04  HCART2   TLD      0       5      -       8     1518252533       FULL

    You have empty, available media that are not in the robot:
     

    SEFR20  HCART2   NONE     -       -      -       -     -        AVAILABLE
    SEFR21  HCART2   NONE     -       -      -       -     -        AVAILABLE

    SEFR27  HCART2   NONE     -       -      -       -     -        AVAILABLE
     

    You need to put some of these AVAILABLE media in the robot.

    Have you checked that there is media available in the pool specified in the staging config?

    And that the media server specified in the Storage Unit (se1-netbackup-hcart2-robot-tld-0) has access to this media?

    And that density and location of the media, the tape devices and storage unit all match (hcart2)?

    See this Status 96 wizard:

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=answers&type=wizard&wizardid=NBU090&wizardstepid=1A&question_box=status+code+96

    Please show us output of 'available_media' command.

    You have no free tapes in the robot. All tapes with location TLD are status FULL.

    Only tape SEFR08 is in status "Active" but may not match the retention required by the duplication. Insert tape into robot with status "AVAILABLE" and run a robot inventory.

    I don't see any tapes in the scratch pool as well.

    Nope.

    Most of the tapes that are in the robot are FULL.

    Thank both of you. 

    Actually, I still confusing about AVAILABLE tape from SEFR20 to SEFR48.

    What is the function of this? 

    Do I have move this tape manualy into robot? 

     

    Thank you for your time,

    AVAILABLE means that there are no valid, unexpired backups on these tapes.

    Any backups that were previously written to them have expired. Therefore, they are AVAILABLE.

    Yes, you need to put these tapes back in the robot.

    If your robot has a MAP/CAP, you can fill it with some of these tapes, then Inventory the robot.
    Select Empty media access port prior to update before you start the Inventory.

    AVAILABLE means the tapes are free for new backups but the location of NONE indicate the tape are outside the robot. Move the tapes into the robot and run a inventory to let Netbackup know news tapes are available.

    A status of active means there are active backups on the tape but the tape is not yet filled and has available space.
