The display shows that the first volume that is not full is volume 3 (it has a value of N for "No" in the right-hand column, under the heading F for "Full?"). This volume is used next and you should mount it on the tape drive for archives. Mount the volume in advance if you are using unattended operation. It is also the volume that you are prompted for if you do the archive interactively.
