I think recreating (restore volume) is the simplest way.  If the original tape 
is
not damaged, then I would do a LABEL LIBVOL on it with overwrite=yes
after it is cleared and see if tape can be reused.  My caveat about using 
overwrite=yes applies because you can overwrite good tapes!

Good mornining all,

One of my DLT IV tapes seems to have gone bad last night.  When I try to run
an audit vol fix=yes on the volume the system complains that there was an
i/o error while trying to read the vol label.  This causes the process to
fail.  I have no way of mounting this vol and there is data on it.  Other
than recreating the vol from the copy pool is there another way to fix this?
