So the tape is mounted and labeled. Now when I go to run a job I am
asked to issue a label command:
.....
Select Job resource (1-19): 1
Run Backup job
JobName: backup-system
Level: Incremental
Client: backup-fd
FileSet: System
Pool: Default (From Job resource)
Storage: Storage-tape (From Pool resource)

OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes
Job queued. JobId=12349
You have messages.

Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "Dell-PV-110T" (/dev/nsa0)

What do I do to get the system back to its ground state?
The tape drive _was_ working fine for several weeks and had about 65
Gbytes of data
written to it. All tapes had been thoroughly tested using btape and
fill before being put into
production.
Frustrated...
