Mark the tapes as read-only. When the tapes were added to TSM, it recorded
the fact that they are B1A density. During reclamation, move data, and
audit vol, TSM tries to mount the tapes R/W. The message is accurate
because you don't have any drives that can write at B1A density. If you
mark the tapes as R/O, the E1A drives can and will be able to read them.
Been there did that.

I have this same problem the only way to solve it for me is to restart the
3494 library. The drives show online and available to aix but the library
won't use them. I have this problem whenever I reboot my tsm server. I
then must restart the library as well.

Saw this often on various flavors of V3R7. Still have it on 4.1.5, as I
posted yesterday. Do you have to reboot to get the process to work?
