Error Message unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available (96) Solution Overview: Vault catalog backups fail with Status 96 "unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available" after upgrading to NetBackup 6.0.Troubleshooting: A special volume pool is designated for vault catalog backups in both NetBackup 5.x and 6.0. After upgrading to NetBackup 6.0, if the same volume pool is used for vault catalog backups, a Status 96 may occur if no blank media are available. This is due to the fact that media in the catalog backup pool still have the 5.x catalog backup format recorded on them. Log files: N/A Resolution: In order to allow the 5.x catalog backup tape(s) to be used, expire and re-label them in NetBackup. Note that this procedure erases all data on the tape, but allows it to be used for NetBackup 6.0 catalog backups that take place during a vault operation.To expire and label a tape: 1. In the left pane of the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media under Media and Device Management. 2

It had worked fine a week ago with no changes that I can think of, besides moving the new week's set of tapes into the NetBackup pool. (I had previously moved them to an unused pool so that they wouldn't be written to until Friday.) Now when I try to perform a backup, it immediately errors out with error code 96: "EMM status: No media is available unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available". If I try to label a tape, I immediately get error 98: "error requesting media (tpreq)". However, catalog backups work fine. (That is a different pool, though.) The tapes show up in the output of nbemmcmd -listmedia ... with the correct pool and other information. I have tried moving tapes into the Scratch pool and seeing if it would pull them into the NetBackup pool. I have verified that my policies are referencing the NetBackup pool. I have tried setting policies to a different pool and then setting them back. I've tried moving both tapes and a policy to a different pool. I've rebooted the Netbackup server and the tape library. None of it makes any difference. I don't honestly know where to look next. If someone can suggest logs that I can look at or enable, I'd appreciate it. It's Netbackup 6.0MP7 under Windows Server 2003. backup tape netbackup share|improve this question asked Dec 1 '09 at 23:44 wfaulk 4,82663061 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote to complete wfaulk, vmquery -m display a bunch of informations including the eventual expiration date, I use this command against the media in a pool when I got the
