It is an Exabyte 7 slot single tape drive if that helps out. Barrett

A tape may be physically present in a library, but not in a way which allows it to be mountable. In a 3494, for example, a tape may be "misplaced" because the 3494 Library Manager lost track of it, typically because it's stuck in a drive (dismount failure, which is often apparent through the drive or path being offline in TSM). More simply, the tape may not be checked in to TSM. Not knowing your library type, we can't specifically advise, but you know how to perform the needed library and/or TSM queries to track this down. The TSM SHow LIBRary command may help, if it's a drive issue. If a "SCSI" library, an Elements review may help, or an Audit Library may be needed. But start with the library itself. A physical inspection of the library may be a good move, to assure that the tape wasn't dropped inside it, for example.
