Hi,

     Thanks for your help, the problem is solved now; as recommended
by Doug and Richard,
i run these commands:

update vol A00043 access=readw
audit volume a00043 fix=yes

and now the volume status is  "empty".

Hi,

     Is the audit process  read the tape, because the volume is
really "offsite" in vault ?

Have you tried changing the access mode of the tape to readwrite (or
even readonly) as Doug recommended yesterday?

In the case of a database inconsistency such as this, it is our
historic experience that TSM realizes during the audit that the tape
is devoid of data, and will not seek mounting of the tape.

This is a problem which has been discussed many times on the mailing
list.  See http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l AT vm.marist DOT edu/
msg67788.html for one such case.
