I have been asked to take care of the VMS Cluster while the guy that usally deals with it is away on holiday. I have a problem with a backup. The system has asked for a certain tape which backs up a database after it has been updated. When inserting the tape, I realized that I had inserted the wrong one. I immediatly ejected it and inserted the correct one but the system is now looping with the following error:

%BACKUP-W-MOUNTERR, volume 1 on _GAMMA$MKD500 was not mounted because its label does not match the one requested
specify option (QUIT, NEW tape or OVERWRITE tape)

The question is, what command of series of commands do I use to force the system to take another look at the drive and realize that it now has the correct tape.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
