About pending requests and actions
In the NetBackup web UI click . Then click on the Device monitor tab. If requests await action or if NetBackup acts on a request, the request displays in the Pending requests pane. For example, if a tape mount requires a specific volume, the request displays in the Pending requests pane. If NetBackup requires a specific volume for a restore operation, NetBackup loads or requests the volume.
If NetBackup cannot service a media-specific mount request automatically, it changes the request or action to a pending state.
