hello team ,
my problem is that i have some tapes with label WKL001 and i want to change that to make them DAT001
what i did :
1. expire the images on the tape following the steps from Veritas
2. move out the tape from the library , replace the barcode and run inventory
3. the DAT001 moved to volume pool DAT as should
4. now when i run a job to write on DAT001 i get the error " expected DAT001, found WKL001, freezing DAT001"
what i missing here ?
i run the vmchange command looks that is running successfully but still get the same error message
do i need to do more steps to move a tape from one volume pool to another and assign policies on that pool ?
thanks in advanced

Hello,
you must Label the tape, without header verification.

A tape has both a barcode and magnetic header written by Netbackup, both of them must match.
You must re-label a tape if the barcode has been changed as Michael writes.

relabel will be good option

if media is already in database you can bpexpdate -m "media_id" -d 0
then you can add new label take inventory and relabel the tape
