I don't use Vault, so this may not be relevant... BUT

With jobs that are hanging pending a specific resource request (that doesn't 
show up in resource querying lists), I use nbrbutil to break the MDS allocation.

nbrbutil -dump for a list of outstanding resource broker requests (in progress 
& pending), and then nbrbutil -releaseMDS <MDS ID> to clear out the one thats 
causing the log-jam.

Cheers,
Nic

occur when a Tape because stuck waiting for resource?
