I'm trying to recover from a bunch of hardware errors on our tape library,
and issued the following to get a good backup for DRM:

backup stg tapepool copypool wait=no

So, it goes ahead and asks for volume 00025-L1, which is currently in a
NOTMOUNTABLE state, sitting in a fire safe. My question is this: why, when
I've told TSM that this volume is not mountable, would the system need this
as an output volume? I've got plenty of scratch volumes in there, as well.

TIA,
