Thank you all who replied offline and online. Now I have downloaded a copy of the book and it will help us. I really got to ask the next dumb questions. Is it advisable to check if the volume is really empty? How do I check if there is really no data?

We were told that the volume is empty, and VTS had placed it in read-only status until there was no valid data on it. You need to get a new tape that will replace the one ejected, and insert it in so the VTS can use it.
