I have followed the instructions in document id 204061 and still this 'insert overwritable media' condition persists.

What can be done to rectify?

Using BE 9.1

Thanks,

Does this occur at the beginning of a job, or partway through?

If at the beginning, try changing the OPP of the affected media set(s)\

If after the job has been running awhile, this means that a the tape has filled up.  All you can do is change the amount of data in the job, or just go ahead and insert a second (scratch) tape when you come in in the morning
