This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi all,
Kindly I have a problem in which I have two tape drives configured but only 1 is active at a time
the configration is as following:
1 Master server 7.5
2 Media server 6.5.5
with the SSO configured
I checked the maximum concurrent jobs from the storage unit properties and it's 2
I have enabled multiplexing and its value is 2 on all the policies
so what else can I check and why is only one tape drive is active at a time and when I run another job it gives status queued showing the message no drives are available
so can any one give me a hint what else I can do ?
Thanks

Please show us:
bpstulist -U -M masterservername
And also for a policy that you would be using in this way:
bppllist policyname -U

Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
only one specific drive is being used altime or its random?
does it like Drive1 is always comming active and Drive 2 never?
did you see if any any allocations pending in nbrb? nbrbutil -dupm | grep <drivename>
thanks all for your help
i have issued the command
nbrbutil -resetall and now everything is working fine :)
Thanks a lot for your support :)
