You might be better off just using nsrmm to mount the tape in a drive
like you would with a non-jb drive.

If you can use sjimm - you can move the tape into a drive and then just
run nsrmm -m -f /dev/xxx - if you have trouble doing that then maybe you
could delete the jukebox resource and try it again

>> 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?

Thanks for the tip. Just shutdown Networker and brought up Netbackup for
the nights backups.
