If the tape has any valid data on it, DFHSM will request a mount to try and recycle the data. You'll need to remove the tape from DFHSM control, delete the entries from the MCDS and then recover any/all of the files from their BCDS backup copies to recover the data.

It is damaged. We do not have duplexing done in this partition. My question is if I issue the RECYCLE command will DFHSM ask the tape to be mounted? If DFHSM does request this tape be mounted this will cause us more problems.
