Most likely your device names are wrong in your jukebox config.
The easiest way to test if the device name is wrong in the jukebox config:
1) Make sure both tape drives are empty.
2) Use 'nsrjb -l -n -f <device name> <volume name>' to load a tape into one
of the drives without mounting. Again, make sure the other drive is empty.
3) After it finishes do 'mt -f <device name> status' on both tape drive
device names. (it mioght be 'mt -t' on AIX, I don't remember) See which
device it really got loaded into.
Easiest way to fix is delete your jukebox from NetWorker and re-run
jbconfig.
To keep this from happening again you need to get persistant binding set in
the OS for your tape devices.

Subject: [Networker] The volid on tape and the one in media base is not the
same!
Ok, that's my case :
I have one tape labelled 14 days ago, in the 15th day it becomes RECYCLE;
when the NETWORKER want to use it (the Automedia management is OFF) it cant
write on with the message :
nsrd: deleted media notice: Deleted volume: volid=., volname=?, location=?
nsrd: Jukebox '.' failed: label write, No such device or address
When I scan this tape,I discover that the volid on tape is different than
the one in the media database of networker
mminfo -avV -r "state,pool,type,volume,volid".
E poolsnapbat1 LTO Ultrium-2 000015 942062518.
scanner -v /dev/rmt2.1

That hung is on every day with all devices and all tapes.!
I don't know why it hangs when the tape is in device in order to be used
second time ?!
