Straight from the source (I believe I posted this link the last time you had a problem with backup - part of learning is not just asking questions but trying to find the answers )

Title: Media waiting backup pool, waiting for 1 writable tape;Check client
setup

Description:

A backup attempt to a specific backup pool that references a storage node fails
with the following error:

media waiting backup pool [pool_name] waiting for 1 writable tape

ANALYSIS:

Using the NetWorker Administrator or nwadmin, verify that the devices are
enabled and that the jukebox is properly configured. Then confirm that the
server is able to communicate with the storage node.

Using the NetWorker Administrator or nwadmin, check the client setup to verify
that the storage node field specifies the correct name of the storage node.

In this instance the storage node field contained 'nsrserverhost'.

SOLUTION:

1) Run NetWorker Administrator (nwadmin)

2) NT - Select Options => Customize and check Display Hidden Attributes
UNIX - Select View => View details

3) Edit the client resource that is not getting backed up

3) NT - Select Preference tab
UNIX - Scroll down to the Storage nodes field

4) Enter the correct storage node name in the Storage nodes field

5) Re-run the backup

Last Update:


As far as /sbin/init.d/networker - checked my Solaris 2.6 backup server and clients - none have that directory - look for /usr/sbin/nsr possibly.

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
