Hi all.
We have Veritas v6.0MP4 on a Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 using a hp ultrium stand-alone drive. This backs-up data from our Oracle RAC Server on schedules. We manually change the tape before every schedule runs: volume A00001 - every Sat, Sun, and Mon; volume A00002 - every Tue and Wed; and volume A00003 - every Thu and Fri. These three tapes are now full so we acquired a NEW SET of tapes and label them A00001 (for Sat, Sun, and Mon), A00002 (for Tue and Wed), and A00003 (for Thus and Fri) using blabel. Our problem is, no back-ups were ever performed when we started using the new set of tapes. The report status message said...
"Unable to allocate new media for backup; storage unit has none available." Status code 96
We informed our supplier about this and we were told to just use blank tapes without labels as Veritas will do the labeling and update itself of the volumes. We don't want to buy new tapes yet so we erased the labels using bplabel -erase but the above message still appears. We need to get the back-up schedules running asap. Please help. Thanks in advanced.

Disabling stand-alone drive extensions
You can disable the stand-alone drive extensions by clearing the NetBackup media server host property, Enable standalone drive extensions. If you clear this property, NetBackup uses the same method to select media for stand-alone drives as it uses for robotic drives.
