"A pending request has been generated for this resource request"
Hello world..
I was wondering if someone has faced this same problem. There is a tape that it seem to be "stuck" in some place, this is the context:
The tape needed to be write-protected, so, it was sent out of robot (using vmchange command) and the inventory was updated. Then, the tape was put back to robot, and inventory was updated again, in some point, NBU still thinks the tape is the previous slot and it's not detecting the new place. At this moment the tape was moved to cap again (using robtest to force this) however, still it's not possible to add the tape to library again without having an error. Also I'd like to add there is a job hung waiting for this tape.
Could anybody help me. I've copied the output of several commands =)

A pending request has been generated for this resource request.
Operator action may be required. Pending Action: Misplaced tape,
Media ID: VO0539, Barcode: VO0539, Density: hcart, Access Mode: Read,
Action Drive Name: N/A, Action Media Server: N/A, Robot Type(Number): 8(1),
Volume Group: 000_00001_TLD, Action Acs: N/A, Action Lsm: N/A
My suggestion:
Leave tape in access port and quit out of robtest.
Use GUI to select VO0539, right-click, Move. Select Standalone.
This will update NBU config to know thay media is no longer in the robot.Next, perform Inventory and select 'Empty media access port prior to update'.
NBU will be updated with new location. you can re-submit your job.
In future, only use NBU to eject tapes to ensure physical and logical location is updated.
