I'm trying to recover from a bunch of hardware errors on our tape library,
and issued the following to get a good backup for DRM:
backup stg tapepool copypool wait=no
So, it goes ahead and asks for volume 00025-L1, which is currently in a
NOTMOUNTABLE state, sitting in a fire safe. My question
When you do a Q VOL 00025-L1 F=D, what does it say is the
LOCATION/STATUS and such ?

I believe you change the status of the tape by re-labeling it. I have seen where the
status changes when there are errors

That is not true, I had to relabel a tape this morning.
What you do is...
check the questionable tape out and then run the following command
Label libv lto_lib search=bulk labels=bar checkin=private overwrite=no
This will re-label the tape and keep the data on it so it is marked as private

If the tape is already labeled the below command will NOT overwrite it
and thus the data and the label will remain intact and all that will
have been acomplished is a checkin=private.

00025 is getting mounted because its access is read/write not offsite.
issue a 'update vol 00025 access=offsite' and tsm will not try to use it.

Here's that output - I'm not relabeling anything just yet
