Unable to set Freeze status on media

Intore

Hello,

following some issues on some tapes (SL3000 library), the Oracle support advised us to move to quarantine those tapes using the backup software, so I've just set to Freeze 3 of the 6 medias but I can't do it on the remaining three. The error message is

requested media id is not assigned to this host in the EMM database

I also followed the suggestion of Nicolai (https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/how-to-freeze-a-scratch-tape-in-window-command/td-p/491023) but I have the same error.

Do you have further ideas?

Thank you

Intore

You cannot freeze a tape that is not 'Assigned'.
ONLY 'Assigned' tapes can be frozen.

@Nicolai 's suggestion was to simply move the tapes to a pool that will never be used for backups.
