Mark, >From the library's web-based interface (or the LM panels themselves), you should be able to display the status of the volume in the library and what category it is in. Then you can also verify whether that category is designated as a fast-ready category in the library.
Refer to the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Automated Tape Library (3494) Operator Guide (for example: GA32-0449-00) in the section titled "Define Fast Ready Categories" for details on how to do this from the VTS Library Manager PC.
