Title: Bad tapes how do you track?

Nb 5.0 mp4 Solaris 9


Ok We from time to time get read / write errors on tapes. When this happens we clean the drive and write protect the tape and put it on our bad tape rack never to be used again except if a restore is needed (we try to restore form it anyway). I want to somehow keep track of this tape in netbackup and identify it as a bad tape. Does anyone have a way of doing this? I though of editing the vault slot field and put like all 0000 or something like that but this only works till someone takes the tape and puts it in our L700 and forgets to take it out. Enterprise vault will re assign it a new slot and then we would loose track of the tape. I just cannot think of a way to track these tapes better other than a manual system. Any thoughts?
