Hi
As far as my memory goes it should wait for next tape. Current one which is full should have been ejected, and you should see prompt to insert new scratch one to the drive. Once done you can approve the mount request to the drive from device monitor.
check this out below is a quote from here
"If a standalone drive does not contain media or if a required volume is not available
to a robot, a mount request appears in the Pending requests. (In the NetBackup
web UI, open Tape storage > Device monitor). An operator can then find the
volume, mount it manually, and assign it to the drive."
