I have many tapes in my tapepool which show status as pending.  I am trying
to upd the status to readwrite so I can use the tapes now.  I realize that
the pending will automatically change to readwrite at a certain time
period.  Can I move to readwrite now?  I have already tried to use, upd vol
volname access=readwrite  but when I check by q vol the vol status still is
set at pending.

Thanks for any help.  Ron
