Received the following error:

media emergency: volume version mismatch.

Does anyone know what this means?

Here are the details:

There was a full backup pending (host:/data/dir) and waiting for a
writable tape. There were no available tapes, so I labeled a new (blank)
tape (FUL934) in the SDLT 220 drive (/dev/nst4) on our SDLT library
attached to our storage node server (snode). The tape labeled okay, but
then NetWorker generated a "Device or resource busy message". At some
point, it loaded the tape to start writing and then generated the media
emergency message. After a minute or so, it then loaded it and the
backup started writing so not sure what's going on. The backup then
continued where it left off, now writing to the new tape. I don't know
what this "volume version mismatch" is referring to. As near as I can
tell, the tape that I labeled does have a unique bar code and was
labeled with the bar code name. This is not a duplicate volume. There
are no other volumes with this same name, it was labeled into the
correct pool, and was never used before. The backup does seem to be
chugging along just fine. I have provided messages from the server's log
below.

Would appreciate any input.

Thanks.
