Okay.. I see that you are using move media command, not move drmedia.

Here's my finding.
Before move media volume Status=full, Access=READ/WRITE, State=Mountable
After move media(defult) Status=Full, Access=Read-Only, State=Mountable
After you bring back and checkin as private Status=FULL, Access=Read-Only,
State=Mountable

So based on this, I do not believe you need to do anything else.
If you change it to to offsite after you checkin, doing restore, TSM will
be complaining this tape is not found.
