Issue/Introduction

You don't see the tape in View, but you still see the View tape cataloged even though the View tape is empty.

Cause

View is designed to not uncatalogue a View tape that was created less than 5 days ago.

Resolution

Wait 5 days and after the View primary backup cycle the View tapes will be uncatalogued.
