A 3592 cartridge was removed from our 3584 by a CE some time ago. It may have been stuck in a drive. After that Operations lost the cartridge for some time, but recently found it. TSM had marked the volume UNAVAILABLE due to 1 write error, but the 3584 no longer lists it in its inventory.
There are files on the cartridge that we need, so I plan to return the cartridge to the 3584. Will the correct procedure be just like returning an OFFSITE volume to a library? That is; after the cartridge is placed in a library slot by the changer, 'Assign' it to a logical library on the 3584; then run 'checkin libv <library-name> <volume-name> status=private' ? (I realize I will have to change its access to read-only, run audit vol, etc.) [The point of all this -->] Is there anything I could do, by mistake, that would make the files on the cartridge permanently gone?
