I see the joblog, was there any other messages on the syslog around that
time, for DB2 archive offload I usually see MOUNT TAPE on XXXX or REPLY.....

Hi all,
Last night we had a weird situation that prompted the operations people to
contact one of our standby teams.
A DB2 job started running and requested a PRIVAT tape:
05.34.24 J1234567 IEF403I DB2PRJ1O - STARTED - TIME=05.34.24
05.34.30 J1234567 IEF233D M 7070,PRIVAT,SL,DB2PRJ1O,PRDB2PRC, 934
934 DB2PRDB.DSN1.DCSJO.#2022191.#0434.C01,
934 OR RESPOND TO IEF455D MESSAGE
The "TAPE ON" message for this PRIVAT tape was not issued until more than
four hours later:
09.44.53 J1234567 IEC705I TAPE ON
7070,CTX817,SL,COMP,DB2PRJ1O,PRDB2PRC,DB2PRDB.DSN1.DCSJO.#2022191.#0434.C01,MEDIA2
and another forty minutes went by until that tape was unmounted and a new
one was requested:
10.32.11 J1234567 IEC502E K
7070,CTX817,SL,DB2PRJ1O,PRDB2PRC,DB2PRDB.DSN1.DCSJO.#2022191.#0434.C01
10.32.11 J1234567 IEC501A M
7070,PRIVAT,SL,COMP,DB2PRJ1O,PRDB2PRC,DB2PRDB.DSN1.DCSJO.#2022191.#0434.C01
However, this time, the "TAPE ON" message was immediate, as expected under
normal conditions:
10.32.13 J1234567 IEC705I TAPE ON
7070,CTX929,SL,COMP,DB2PRJ1O,PRDB2PRC,DB2PRDB.DSN1.DCSJO.#2022191.#0434.C01,MEDIA2
This run was the one that was executed without glitches as the first time
around the operations people contacted a standby team, the job was
cancelled and then resubmitted again (a few times).
I am not sure about what DB2 was doing but SORT was being used.
So, my question here is, why the first "TAPE ON" message was not issued
right after the MOUNT message?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you
jack
