I'm not very experienced with ACSLS systems so not quite sure how ACSLS and
NetWorker interact, but I can give you a little background on the message
you are seeing. The "server is busy" does not exactly mean that the server
is heavily loaded. What it usually means is that it is "busy" starting the
nsrmmd process that it needs to talk to in order to load the tape. If the
nsrmmd is restarting for some reason such as following a daemon restart on
a storage node you would see this message once, then the nsrmmd restart
will take place and the command will succeed the second time. I'm not quite
sure how this fits your situation but it might help you to understand what
is going on.
