Device management status code 70

Message: Request terminated because media is write protected

Explanation: A mount request has been canceled because the media being requested for write access is not write-enabled.

Recommended Action: Check the physical media cartridge to see whether write-protection has been enabled. If write access to the media is desired, disable write protection for the media.

If read-only access is desired, leave the write-protection enabled. Then make the necessary administrative requests in the requesting application (such as suspending the media) to ensure that the media is requested only for read access.

If the media was requested through the command line interface, see the tpreq man page or command description for specifying the media access mode. The tpreq command is described in the following manuals:

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
