Have you tried changing the category of the volume?

For example, if you wanted to eject the tape, you would issue the
AIX command:

 'mtlib -l /dev/lmcp1 -C -t FF10 -VAAD977'

Of course, what you'd *want* to change it to is the private
category of your ADSM server. You can easily check to see what
that value is by querying the extended volume data on a known
storage pool volume, e.g. 'mtlib -l /dev/lmcp1 -qE -v -VAAD978'
