Hi.
Which TSM version?

I used the following long time ago... It is a long shot. I wish you luck

Get this  tsmtape0.1.tar.z  here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tsmtape/


This is an excerpt from a README:
=================================

    Description:
    TSMtape recovers files from a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) v5.x tape.


    Detail:
    TSM is unable to import a rogue tape that is not identified within
    its database or restore a file located on a known tape after it has
been expired.
    TSMtape will allow the recovery of these files by reading a TSM v5.x
(tested against 5.2)
    tape and allowing restoration or listing of all files without need
of the
    TSM software or database.

    OS:
    Updated to compile/run on Linux x86. gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)


    History:
    TSMtape is based off adsmtape written by Thorhallur Sverrisson who
    released the original work under GNU GPL. adsmtape targeted ADSM
    (predecessor to TSM) v3 and was written for AIX.
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/adsmtape/

    Build:
    untar the files and run make.

    Usage:
   ./TSMtape [-R|restore] <device> <Files> <Restore Path>
        or
   ./TSMtape [-A|--audittape] <device> <output file>

    Options:
    -h, --help      display this help and exit
    -A, --audit     Output list of files stored on tape with supporting
details in csv format
    -R, --restore   Restore "your" files ;-)
    <Files>         File parsing can be a partial or full path, Use a
'/' as a catchall

    -v[vv]          Print additional debugging information

   Example:
     ./TSMtape --restore /dev/st0 /etc/shadow /tmp/recovered
     ./TSMtape --audit /dev/st0 / /tmp/tapefiles.csv

...
..
.
