RC 96 "Unable to allocate new media for backup"
Created: 07 Aug 2012 | Updated: 14 Aug 2012 | 5 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
How can I make use of my active/active mpx tapes instead backup failing looking for available tapes in volume pool?
Thanks.

If there's available media in the library then NB *should* utilise that first, but I remember a post from a few years back where it was seen that this was not necessarily always the case.
Is this the situation you're facing:

This is successful now. Ran to a different retention level tape, hence this error.
So straight forward EC=96 then - no available media in library that could be utilised by the backup.
Glad you got to the bottom of it!

Just thought, should've directed you to this TechNote, you'd've worked your way through to the solution in no time (seven clicks & sorted - altho' two might've given it away!):

Thanks Andy.
The post that Andy referenced above mentions retention levels at least three times.
i have therefore moved solution to his post.
