For your new tapes, did you label them?
For new tapes, do the following
1) If it is a stand-alone tape drive, put them into the tape drive one at a time and run a label job on them to label the tapes
2) If it is an autoloader, load all the tapes into it. If you are using barcode labels, run a scan job on the entire autoloader. Otherwise, you have to right-click on each slot that you have loaded a tape and run a label job.
Once you have done the above, the new tapes are ready to be used. They will be in the Scratch Media Set. You may want to associate them with some media sets that you have created before running any jobs.
> also inventory them, though its successful I can't perform a catalog on it.
You cannot catalog new tapes. These will be automatically catalogued when they are used.

You can try
1) do an erase on one of the <bad media> tapes
2) do a small test backup to this tape.
Let me know what is the result.
