Run a robot inventory update
Has the tapes been removed from robot without running a inventory ?

How sure are you that tape TP0316 is indeed in TLD0?
Does NBU and robot contents agree?
To double-check, check NBU config:
nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid TP0316
In the output you will see robot number and slot number.
Next, use robtest, select robot and check slot number that you saw in above output.
Quit robtest.
If all is fine, double-check media server config that is asking for tape mount. Check for all of the following:
Device config - check output of 'tpconfig -l'.
Verify robot number and density of tape drive(s).
Compare with tape density in nbemmcmd output.If you post output of all of the above, we should be able to assist.

onsite team which are monitoring the tapes physically,have asked us to check this.
- NIKHIL234656595Level 6
I am not able to understand what this means?Outstanding /pending.
- MarianneLevel 6
It means that some NBU action (backup, restore, duplication, import etc) needs to use a particular tape, but cannot find the tape in the robot or inside a standalone drive.
Instead of failing the job, NBU gives you the change to find the tape and put it where it needs to be (e.g. in robot if it is not there or in standalone drive, whichever is applicable).
Once the tape is where it must be, you can right-click on the request and resubmit.Meaning of pending request is also documented in NBU Admin Guide I.

OK.
Media is in TLD 0

sorry its 47

robtest
m s 47 dx
Where x is the drive number
If you so
s d
This will display the drives and you can pick an empty on, numberd 1,2,3 etc from the top.
If the tape loads successfully, then you will need to unload it
m dx s47
If the tape does not load, you could have an issue with the library (it is possible llibrary faults, incorrect library config prevent certain slots being used) .

slot 47 (addr 4142) contains Cartridge = yes
Source address = 4142
Barcode = TP0316L4
Above i got from robtest.
slot received from Robtest and nbemmcmd -listmedia commmand are matching for this media id

Please check the rest of my post above: (run command on media server asking for tape mount)
If all is fine, double-check media server config that is asking for tape mount. Check for all of the following:
Device config - check output of 'tpconfig -l'.
Verify robot number and density of tape drive(s).
Compare with tape density in nbemmcmd output.
