I haven't actually had to do this (yet) but I think you would have to move
it to a disk storage pool and back again - which means you need an empty
disk pool to work with.

Also with regard to your other question about how to do reclamation with
only one drive:
There is a parameter called Reclaim Storage Pool which is used for this
purpose - again, the data is moved to a diskpool and then back to a new
tape.

So what you need to do is set up a diskpool, preferably one that's big
enough to hold the data from a full tape, and then update your tape pool
with reclaimstg=<diskpoolname>.

Again, this is just theory from me, I have not done it in real life (but I
will have to do these things soon).
