With regards to the j/b "load without mount (nsrjb -ln)", this essentially 
tells the jukebox's robotic arm to grab a tape from one of the data slots and 
put it into one of the drives in the jukebox.

The equivalent for a stand alone tape drive is just to manually load the tape 
into the drive, i.e. by hand.

Once you manually insert the tape, then you mount the tape by using the nsrmm 
command, or though the NMC GUI.

  nsrmm -s (server) -m -v -f rd=(storage node):drive

NetWorker will then mount the drive and try to read the tape label.


If the tape volume is not in the media database, the you can label and mount 
the tape using nsrmm again:

  nsrmm -s (server) -l  -m -v -f rd=(storage node):drive  (tape label)
