Have you tried q vol ORA052?  If the library lost track of the tape TSM
would mark it as unavailable; to update it you'd need to type upd vol
ORA052 acc=readwrite (or acc=readonly if you don't want any more data
written to the tape).

Hello TSM'ers!

I have a problem with a volume in my 3494-library..

Tsm-server is 4.2.1.7, AIX.

I discovered the problem a few days ago, when trying to move data from the
volume to another stg-pool.
Tsm incists that the volume is inaccessible.
An audit also result in the same:

01/07/2002 16:57:05  ANR2321W Audit volume process terminated for volume
ORA052
                      - storage media inaccessible.

The volume was dropped by the gripper a week or so ago, but it was
re-entered via the recovery-cell. I have inventoried the frame, audited
the library on the tsm-server. A "manual mount",
mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -m -f/dev/rmt1 -VORA052 /mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -d
-f/dev/rmt1
work fine.
work fine.
I've even done checkout/checkin libvol.

But now I'm stuck...

ANy suggestions on where to look/what to try, would be appreciated...

                                         Tom
