you have 3 jobs with the job type =16 which is Media contents, and this job will trigger when you run the command

bpmedialist -U -mcontents [-m <media_id>]

it looks like they are orphaned jobs.

release those, mds allocations

nbrbutil -releaseMDS 13255

nbrbutil -releaseMDS 13257

nbrbutil -releaseMDS 13259

and if that does not help, i would prefer to go with Netbackup restart.

what is policy schedule Media Multiplexing is set ? Is it set right? Make sure this is set correctly

Are they in same pool and retention. Also what about max jobs per client setting in master server properties.

Thanks:

Max jobs per client = 4

Media Multiplexing is set = Yes

What is the number for media multiplexing ? 1 is the default which means you will able to run only 1 job but you have 4 drives which makes it 4 jobs.

Edit:I just checked the screenshot and you have Max concurrent drives set to 4 and multiplexing set to 4. Actually you should be able to run 4*4 =16 jobs if everything is set correctly. The other jobs that are getting queued are pointing to the same storage unit? Can you post the detailed status of the queued job

lsscsi shows 8 tapes coming from different path but NBU shows 4 of them and that is also repetitive. Please check if you have the configuration correctly setup or run the device configuration again if you have recently changed something.

I know that you have said yes, but please double-check MPX level in all schedules.
Insufficient media can also cause this.

Also check Job details for queued to job to see the reason for job being queued.

Sometimes orphaned device allocations can cause this.
You can troubleshoot this with 'nbrbutil -dump', examine MDS allocations and release media and/or drive allocations that you know are not currently in use.
nbrbutil -releaseMDS <mdsAlocationKey>
Quick fix is to reset all allocations when no backups are running:
nbrbutil -resetAll

The job queue says 'no drives are available'.

Please see last part of my previous post:
