It doesn't want to use friday2 because it is marked 'Used' which means
that it hit the limit of jobs and won't use it again until all other
media is 'Used' and it becomes the oldest and the recycle period is
reached.
If you want to use friday2 again, you can 'update' the volume and
'purge' it but that would delete all of the previous jobs on the tape.
If you want to continue using that volume while keeping the jobs on that
tape, I think you will need to:
- Up the 'Maximum Volume Jobs' number on the pool
- restart the storage daemon
- 'update' the tape for the number of jobs
- 'update' the tape and change the status from 'Used' to 'Append'
