Checking the activity log might give you an idea of why these tapes are
being marked unavailable. Look in there and see if it specifies what the
problem is.

Subject: Cartridges marked unavailable
Hi:
I seeing a new situation where a number of volumes (K-type) are being set
unavailable. This is stoppping reclamation of copypool volumes.
I generate a list, then mark then readw, then initiate a reclamation. The
volumes then reset to unavailable, and the reclamation does not complete.
Any suggestions as to the reason wht.
Should I check these out and mark these as destroyed?
