That is all you have to do.  Once it is in the library again, TSM will know
where to mount it from.  Are you aware of the AUDIT Library command.

Generally, a tape gets in this state if it is mounted in a drive and the TSM
Server task crashes.  The reason is TSM does not know where the tape is
anymore.  I wish it did not work this way on the 3494 library though because
the 3494 library just puts the tape away and still knows where it is.

Subject: what happens to the data


Hi all,

TSM has marked one of my tape which has VIMP data on it as unavailable and I
managed to make its access READONLY. q libv is not picking the vol - and I
can see ( physically ) that the tape is in the library - On the panel of the
library the tape is referred as something else and I believe the barcode is
stuffed. I checked the tape out of the library manually and sure now that is
the tape I want.

Now can I check this tape in as private and see if it recognizes it - ? what
else can I do - I can't efford to lose the data on the tape.

with regards,
