Methods that can be used as active after tape import

hello. The customer is using appliance model 5240 and version is 9.1.
The customer's requirement is to get a PTL tape and copy the tape back.
※ The master server has been changed.

However, since the customer's PTL tape is not enough, import the current PTL tape twice and copy it to the DISK, and after the image of the existing PTL tape expires,
The tape volume pool is being moved and replicated again.
※ Backup must be performed in the changed volume pool.

The curious thing is that when media is first recognized it is recognized from the NETBACKUP pool. After changing this to the desired volume pool and completing the import twice, if TAPE is ACTIVE, I wonder if there is a way to back up to that tape.

if you import a tape, the tape is marked as imported and you can not append to it.
The only way to use again the tape is to expire the backup copies on the tape.
