We used to run a shell script that took one the drives offline temporarily,
let AIX use it for mksysb, then set it back online for TSM.  We didn't have
a good way to have that tape volume be managed by TSM - we just put it in
the same box with the rest of the vault tapes, with a manual label on it.

Sorry I no longer have the script around, or I'd list it here.

Seems like we had to say "mkdev -l rmt0" and "rmdev -l rmt0" in there
somewhere ... but that was the only funny thing about it.
