To answer the part of your question about the lock position, the tape lock position doesn't matter when you're trying to read (recover) a dataset from the tape. It isn't actually a tape lock, it is a read/write lock - if it is set in the lock position, you can't write anything new to the tape. It doesn't lock the tape from reading.

Moreover the data I'm trying to restore was backed up, also there was an entry of the same hlq on the spool data of the bakup job.
