A way to do it with both tapes in one pool would be a "RunAfterJob"
script, which changes the "active" tape to the status 'used' and the
"inactive" tape to 'append'.
Something along these lines:
#!/bin/bash
POOL=catalog
ACTIVE_TAPE=$(echo list media pool=$POOL | bconsole | grep Append | \
awk '{print $4}')
INACTIVE_TAPE=$(echo list media pool=$POOL | bconsole | grep Used | \
awk '{print $4}')
cat << EOF | bconsole
update volume=$ACTIVE_TAPE volstatus=Used
update volume=$INACTIVE_TAPE volstatus=Append
EOF
