The Library Manager knows the owner and the last-use and the status.
The Library Client, i.e., the owner knows nothing about the volume;
there's nothing in the volhist with that volume name.  "Q vol" returns
not found.  The volume has never been used on the client.

This is the familiar condition of the TSM thread is blocked on an I/O
condition, which needs to be fixed at the failed device; so, have the
drive attended to.  Once it's working, perhaps via a power cycle of
the drive, the condition should clear.

What do you mean, "assigned to a client"?  Volumes are assigned to
storage pools (as via Define Volume, DELete Volume), or occupied with
database backup or Export data, or the like.
