Howard is right on. I'd add a couple more commands to his audit to
"synchronize" the library completely:
Tsm> audit library libname checklabel=barcode
Tsm> checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch
Tsm> checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private
These three command will ensure that your library inventory is accurate
and that all tapes in the library are checked in properly. The audit
library command will check tapes out that are not found. For instance,
if TSM thinks that tape 100087 is in the library, but the audit
determines that it isn't, it will be removed from the TSM library
inventory. However, if the audit finds tape 100088 that TSM doesn't
think is in the library, it won't automatically check it in. The two
checkin libvol commands fix that up as well. Note the order: you want
to do the scratch tapes first.

Stop all processes, unmount all tapes and audit the library.
It looks like TSM thinks tape 100562 is in the slot currently occupied
by 100617 instead.
Either the paths are wrong for the drives, (which I doubt) or the
library's inventory is a little off.
To verify, do a q libv, determine which slot TSM "thinks" the tape is
in, and then open up your library and see if they match. You may have
to actually take the tape out, and then back in again.
I would try the audit first, then check TSM's list-o-tapes. IF the tape
your needing doesn't show up there may be other problems. Such as tape
stuck in picker, not in library at all (mistakenly sent offsite), etc.
See Ya'
