Assuming that everything else was checked and found to be in order  and 
from what I know, it is a flaw in the device selection code.
Once I hit it, the only way out is to restart master and all media servers 
to re-register the drives.

*Make dure you have the latest MP installed.* 
MP4, MP5 did address this and the issue happens much less often for me.

I've being hitting and hunting this one for past 2 years from time to time 
and had few tickets opened and worked on.

I have a case open with NetBackup support that that they've not been able 
to help me with.  Thought I'd give you good people a shot at it:
1.) We are getting these messages repeating in bpsched log: "unable to get 
a storage unit for client".  Most of the time the messages eventually stop 
and the backup job runs.
 
2.) We sometimes need to recycle NetBackup when jobs begin to queue and 
never become active. 
 
3.) We have jobs that hang. They remain active, but last activity shown by 
bperror is many hours old, and number of files or kilobytes backed up does 
not progress. 
 
Not sure if 2 & 3 are related to 1 or not.  Any ideas?
