Hi

Great forum, some very good answers. I learn a lot.

I have a volume, the volume is unavailable:

08:11:05   TSMSRV01 : q vol * acc=unavail

Volume Name                             Storage              Device      
Estimated    Pct       Volume
                                                          Pool Name    Class

 409.6 G   52.1  Filling


I have tried:

Update vol P00341L3 access=readw . But the volume is unavailable in again after 
after a while.

Also checked the volume into library, library checked the volume correctly out 
straightaway.
