That's the part which is not clear.
- If you have a library with two tape drives then the library should be listed there as well.
If the library is not listed then you need to check if it is recognised within the OS correctly.
- If you have two standalone tape drives, you specify "any tape cartridge storage" then either of these two tape drives will be used for that job (every job configured that way).

Looking at the screenshot, it looks like you are using two stand-alone tape drives and not a library with two tape drives, is that correct?
If you not using a library then you would need to select the tape drive pool which then makes BE to use any tape drive available.

I am not sure what answer / question is outstanding.
I am as well not clear if you have now two standalone tape drives or are these two tape drives part of a library as you confirmed first that they are standalone and then you said they both are in the same unit (which would indicate its a library).

yeah probably its a library with 2 tapes device but only one tape for each
