How to Label a new tape in Standalone tape drive

Hi

We are using Netvault Backup Software ( 11.4.0.22) with Dell DR4300e appliance and Dell Standalone tape drive(Single drive LTO6).  We have created monthly policies which takes backup of all our servers on Dell Appliance DR4300e and secondary copy to go onto single tape drive.

Eg: For the month of Feb , we inserted a tape and labelled it as "Feb2018" , now in order to take monthly backup for March, we inserted a new tape and wanted to label the tape as "Mar2018" , but we are getting an error message stating  " Failure : Requesting Drive Label(Error: Can't Label an already labeled media).

 

In Tape Drive Management Page, we are still seeing the old tape Label "Feb2018"

Note : The monthly backup of March is getting completed successfully on the new tape drive, only the issue is w.r.t labeling of the tape.

Any help will be appreciated

Thank you

Girish
