If you still have the physical volumes, then they may be o.k. Do a "q vol ###
f=d" on each of them and see if they are destroyed or what is the "access" mode
of them. If they are not destroyed then you should be able to recover them or
use them as is. If they are marked as destroyed, you may be able to use upd
vol to change the access back to say " readonly" so you can attempt to "move
data" from them.
Last option is to do "restore volume" for data that can't be read. Use
"preview=yes" option for each volume and then look at actlog and it will show
what tapes are needed to restore the volume. (Whwen you start an actual
restore on a volume it marks the old volume as destroyed but doesn;t delete it
until all, the data has been "restored".
I have done a number of restores in last few months after having tapes broken
in tape drives.
Hope I understood your question/situation and this helps. Matbe someone else
may have additional info or insight.

Hi:
Our problem with drives on our newly fibre attached 3590 drives was apparantly
resolved by updating the microcode. However, in the interim we had 10
cartridges that became unavailable and would not return to available status
after the upgrade. They were then marked destroyed.
However, we still have some 40 offsite copypool volumes that will not reclaim
and remain 99 % reclaimable. I assume the remaining files were on the volumes
marked destroyed.
Any suggestions as to how to complete reclamation on these copypool volumes?
