bplabel 1

I have some tapes which earlier has been used for NB catalog backups. I want to reuse them for normal backups.
And yes, I have made verification on all the tapes.

Here is an example from one of the tapes:


================================================================================
media ID: 0361L2
media type: 1/2" cartridge tape 2 (14)
barcode: A00361L2
media description: -----
volume pool: Daily_Incremental (9)
robot type: TLD - Tape Library DLT (8)
robot number: 0
robot slot: 36
robot control host: lngbck01
volume group: 00_000_TLD
vault name: ---
vault sent date: ---
vault return date: ---
vault slot: ---
vault session id: ---
vault container id: -
created: 9/27/2005 3:42:25 PM
assigned: ---
last mounted: 9/29/2005 1:19:45 AM
first mount: 9/27/2005 3:47:27 PM
expiration date: ---
number of mounts: 2
max mounts allowed: ---
================================================================================

I try to run:

BPLABEL -m 0361L2 -d hcart2 -p scratchpool

but it returns with an error:

Request terminated because of volume pool mismatch

What have I missed here?

from the vmquery:

>volume pool: Daily_Incremental (9)

You will need to change the volume pool to match the bplabel command.

Either change the tape to scratchpool
or
bplabel -m 0361L2 -d hcart2 -p Daily_Incremental

Just because the VERITAS documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact and thats the truth
