The query shows there is only 1 active backup task. We think we've figured out what is happening. We have INUSE(RETRY(Y) DELAY(0) SERIALIZATION (PREFERRED) coded so HSM was allocating a second drive to back up datasets that were in use after the initial backup task completed.
The other problem we've discovered is the second tape is not marked full. Only the first tape is marked full. Thanks for everyone's input.
