Tape Management
I Have HP LTO5, previously the tape drive was used by Yosemite Server Backup Basic was working fine, now we have installed Symantec Backup Exec 15, when we try to backup on the tape which was being used with old software it does not allow to use the tape, even the cleaning is not possible.
we are not interested with the data on the tape, we want to use the tape with new software.

We used new tapes with Symantec BU Exec 15 as the older ones could not be reused.

Sir the Tapes are not old they have been used twice only, the age of the tape is not more than two months.
I meant older style of tapes. We had to change tapes for the new backup.
Try using HP's tape tools to test.
You may need a firmware upgrade.
Plus it's Symantec and like a box of chocolates ,you'll never now what you'll get from them.

Also the newest Backup Exec encrypts tapes so you may be running into that. New tapes in new Backup Exec taken off site for safe keeping cannot be opened by anyone.
