How do I format a tape?

531016Sep 1 2006 — edited Sep 10 2006

I'm trying to do an RMAN backup to tape using OSB Express. I keep getting the error:

2006/09/01.15:41:43 data failed - blank medium encountered (OB device mgr)

I'm assuming blank medium mean's unformated (it's a brand new tape). Does anyone know how to format a tape with RMAN, or OSB Express?

Windows 2003 r2, Oracle 10.2.0.1, OSB XE 10.1.0.2, SDLT 320
