02/12/01   15:24:46      ANR0984I Process 149 for AUDIT VOLUME (INSPECT ONLY)
                          started in the BACKGROUND at 15:24:46.
02/12/01   15:24:46      ANR2313I Audit Volume (Inspect Only) process started 
for
                          volume 0045E3 (process ID 149).
02/12/01   15:24:47      ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume 0045E3 - mount
                          failed.
02/12/01   15:24:47      ANR2321W Audit volume process terminated for volume 
0045E3
                          - storage media inaccessible.

Can someone explain the "storage media inaccessible" error?  It seems TSM
can't mount this tape (TSM 3.7.4.0, AIX4.3.3).  When i tried to check it
out to see if the tape was physically damaged:

tsm: TSM>checkout libvol 3570lib 0045E3 remove=yes checklabel=yes
ANR8442E CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME: Volume 0045E3 in library 3570LIB is currently
in use.
ANS8001I Return code 12.

**But i don't see anything using it......

tsm: TSM>q proc
ANR0944E QUERY PROCESS: No active processes found.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

tsm: TSM>q mount *
ANR2034E QUERY MOUNT: No match found using this criteria.

tsm: TSM>q req
ANR8346I QUERY REQUEST: No requests are outstanding.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

Any ideas?  I tried an audit library and let it run for almost an hour,
but it didn't seem to be doing anything, so i cancelled it. (there's only
19 tapes...an audit lib shouldn't take that long i wouldn't think).


later!
