I -S. Now when I kicked off the restore it says it needs tape 000068, and tape 000068 is loaded in the LTO3 drive. But Networker continues to request for this tape to be loaded until it times out with the following in the daemon.log file:

04/24/08 13:16:16 nsrd: Operation 2 started : Load volume `000068'.

04/24/08 13:16:16 nsrd: media waiting event: waiting for LTO Ultrium-3 tape 000068 on a11ns01 04/24/08 13:25:49 nsrd: [Jukebox `nsr_juke', operation # 2]. Expected volume `000068' in slot `8'. The actual volume is `<NULL>'. 04/24/08 13:31:16 nsrd: media critical event: waiting for LTO Ultrium-3 tape 000068 on a11ns01

Can you mount that volume manually with nsrjb?

Actually, I can't. Specifying both the Slot and just the Volume gives me: nsrjb -l 000068

nsrjb: Error: Cannot allocate 1 devices needed for Load operation, number of 
available and usable devices = 0
nsrjb: error, Jukebox command terminated with errors.
[root@b2u32]/nsr/logs>nsrjb -l -S 8
nsrjb: Error: Cannot allocate 1 devices needed for Load operation, number of 
available and usable devices = 0
nsrjb: error, Jukebox command terminated with errors.

nsrjb -l 000068 -f /dev/nst9
nsrjb: Error: Device `/dev/nst9' is not available.
nsrjb: error, Jukebox command terminated with errors.

I was previously able to inventory using: nsrjb -v -I -S 8 -f /dev/nst9 and 
that worked.

The recover does send the tape to the drive, but guess it's not actually 
"loading" it. Rerun jbconfig?

Expected volume `000068' in slot `8'. The actual volume is `<NULL>'.
