I am sorry I did not see your responds until now. I thought I was supposed to get notified by email when there was a respond, but I was not.
Inventory Robot with update volume configuraiton did not help. However, when I right clicked the new tape and select Unfreeze, it looks like it initiated the new tape. The volume pool was changed to Scratch_Pool. I am still not sure if this is a proper way to do it. If anyone is still monitoring this issue, would you please verify the steps I write below is correct?
1. Remove old tape by right Click and select Eject Volume
2. Add a new tape
3. Inventory the robot with selecting "Update Volume Configuration' option".
4. Right click the new tape and select "Unfreeze"
Another question is how do you know when you need to change tapes?
Does NetBackup tell you whic tapes need to be changed? or do you always monitor the size of each tapes?
Thanks for all your replies.

Yest, it is a brand new tape.
We implemented the NetBackup about 2 or 3 month ago and new tapes were added at that time. That was first set of tapes, and now I am trying to replace them with another brand new tapes as 2nd set. Since the backup admin left the company without leaving any instruction, it is kinda hard to manage the netbackup for a newbie like myself.
Pardon my inexperience, I still don't fully understand your backup side of language.
I think I have many freeze tapes because when I right click on each tapes, I see "Unfreeze' option is available as well as "freeze" option. Does this mean there are some corrupted data that can not used for restoration?
My second question is that do I normally perform step 1-3 when I change tapes? no additional steps?
If Step 4 (Unfreeze) is not necessary for normal tape change operation, how do I get the new tape initiated changing the volume pool to the 'Scratch_Pool'?
Thank you,
