I've tried that script, but I need to know the file sequence.

How do I know which tape is the first one, and which is next .

There is no sequence numbering of filespace volumes: there doesn't need
to be, as restorals may be for individual files or directories which
may be on various tapes. TSM catalogs the location of aggregates of
files on their containing tapes: it knows where to get files when it
needs them.

For your purposes, once you know the volumes associated with a node
(volumeusage info) then you can simply sort by Last Write Date. But,
again, such sequencing is artificial and of no real value.
