First assign the tape using

vmquery -assignbyid <media_id> <media_type> <pool_number> <status>
            <assigntime> |

After it is assigned you should be able to freeze it.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Freezing a non-assigned tape

When I try to freeze a non-assigned tape using the "bpmedia" command, I
get
an error since there's no images on the tape.

Netbackup seems to be able to freeze a non-assigned tape when there's
trouble mounting it or similar.

How can I do this myself?
