One other thought is to do a q req and see if any requests outstanding.
If not then my final suggestion then is to HALT *SM and restart as this will
clear any hung condition. I have done this several times with a tape that's
tied up or a session that can be cancelled.

David,
It is physically in the library...i can see it. Also i can do an audit
vol on the tape on either side of it, and they mount fine.

Yep, it's there...

Status is R/W, one write error. TSM had marked it R/O after the write
error, but after it passed a R/O audit vol, i updated it to R/W (to see if
it caught another write error). This is how it all started with this
particular "problem" tape.

The first error was "An I/O error occurred while accessing drive TAPE1
(/dev/rmt1) for QRYINQUIRY operation"
This is a new one on me.....so the write failed, and TSM marked it R/O.

I let audit library run again for about 45 minutes, and it just sat
there, doing nothing....

I tried with checklabel=no and got the same "Volume in use error".
AIX diag reports no problems, but there is some TAPE_ERR4 messages in the
error log when the write failed. I'm checking these out now...but other
than this one volume, TSM seems to be running fine.
Thanks a lot for the tips! If ya'll can think of anything else i might
try i'd really appreciate it...
later!
