Try doing a sample retrieve for the desired package-description and
filespec; it should skip tapes marked "unavailable", logging messages to the
activity log... those messages will tell you which tapes you need...

ANR1420W Read access denied for volume volume name - volume access mode =
"unavailable".

Explanation: An attempt to access the named volume for reading fails because
the volume status is unavailable.

System Action: The volume is not used for read access.

Subject: Which cartridge must to be monted whith a retreive


I would like to execute a simulate with a retreive to know which cartridges
will be demanded.
We have in pool offsite some cartridges (near 200). If we have a demand for
retreived some files, we can't mount cartridge after cartridge in the
library IBM 3494.
The Operators want to have a list before. So, if we have a list, it's easy
to get all the cartridges, and after chekin on them, the final customer can
execute the real retreive.

Do you have an experience on this subject?
