Add more blank tapes of correct density in the pool used for this policy.
Hello Marianne,
You think this is the solution ?

Yes.
Extract from Status Code manual:
NetBackup status code: 96
Message: unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available
Explanation: The NetBackup Resource Broker (nbrb) did not allocate a new
volume for backups. This error indicates that the storage unit has no more volumes
available in the volume pool that is specified for this backup. Note that NetBackup
does not change storage units during the backup.
Recommended Action: Check the NetBackup Problems report to determine the
storage unit that is out of media.
■ If the storage unit is a robot with empty slots, add more volumes (remember to
specify the correct volume pool).
■ If there are no empty slots, move some media to nonrobotic and then add new volumes.
■ If you have difficulty keeping track of your available volumes, try the available_media script:
On UNIX, this script is in:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media
On Windows, the script is in:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\goodies\available_media.cmd
This script lists all volumes in the volume configuration, and augments that
list with information on the volumes currently assigned to NetBackup.
■ Set up a scratch volume pool as a reserve of unassigned tapes. If NetBackup
needs a new tape and none are available in the current volume pool, it does
the following: Moves a tape from the scratch pool into the volume pool that the
backup uses.
■ If the storage unit and volume pool appear to have media, verify the following:
■ Volume is not FROZEN or SUSPENDED.
Check for this condition by using the NetBackup Media List report. If the
volume is frozen or suspended, use the bpmedia command to unfreeze or
unsuspend it (if that is wanted).
See "Frozen media troubleshooting considerations" in the Troubleshooting Guide.
■ Volume has not expired or exceeded its maximum number of mounts......
