Marking a tape as unusable

If a piece of media is damaged or not suitable for use, you can mark it as “unusable” so that it is not selected for any job. You can set this property from the Explore Tape Media Item page.

To mark a tape as unusable:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
2
Click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.
3
To mark the tape as unusable, click Mark Unusable.
4
To change this property, select the tape, and click Mark Usable.

Marking a tape as read-only

You can mark a tape as “read-only” to protect it from further writes.

There are two ways to enable this property for a tape:

•
You can set the Protect Media from Further Writes after Backup option in the Target Set to enable write‑protection for a tape after the backup completes. For more information, see Configuring media sharing options.
•
Alternatively, you can set the read-only property from the Explore Tape Media Item page. The instructions are provided in this section.
To mark a tape as read-only:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
2
Click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.
3
To mark the tape as read-only, click Mark Read Only.
4
To change this property, select the tape, and click Mark Writable.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: A piece of media can be marked as “read-only” to stop further writes if a SCSI error occurs during a write operation. When this error occurs, check for hardware errors. If no tape or media error is found, set the tape as “writable.”

Marking a tape for reuse

A piece of media is automatically marked for reuse when the last saveset stored on it is retired. You can also manually set this property from the Explore Tape Media Item page. NetVault Backup overwrites any existing data on the tapes when they are reused.

When a piece of media is manually marked for re-use, NetVault Backup retains its media label and group associations. To reuse such media, you must set the Reuse Media option in the Target Set to one of the following: Any or With the same group label as target media.

To manually mark a tape for reuse:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
2
Click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape, and click Explore Media.
3
Click Reuse, and then in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.

Removing an offline tape

You can use the following procedure to remove an offline tape.

When you remove an offline tape, the information about that tape is deleted from the NetVault Database; the backups stored on the tape are not deleted. To use the backups stored on the tape, you must scan the tape and import the media information into the NetVault Database.

To remove an offline tape:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage.
2
Click Explore Tape Storage. In the list of media items, select the tape that you want to remove, and click Explore Media.
Only offline tapes can be removed from NetVault Backup.
3
Click Remove, and then in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
