Possible? [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] Two wildly different thoughts: 1. Might it be possible to mount the offending tape manually depending of course on what's failed in the library? 2. DFSMShsm AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS once the tape has been transported to the main site. This probably involves less risk of bodily harm.
