Hi *SMers,
        TSM-server 4.2.1.18 on IBM H70, AIX 4.3.3, Library: IBM 3494

   since a few days I've a problem with a tape 000492, which can't be
used, e.g. I tried
        backup stgpool tapepool_nc copypool_nc
        audit volume 000492
        move data 000492
and got more or less always the same answer:

18.01.2003 07:30:22      ANR1228I Removable volume 000492 is required for
storage
                          pool backup.
18.01.2003 08:28:03      ANR1229W Volume 000492 cannot be backed up -
volume is
                          offline or access mode is "unavailable" or
"destroyed".

I tried to
        checkout libv 3494 000492
followed by
        checkin  libv 3494 000492 status=private

but no change in the above behaviour.

I attach the reduced o/p of a "q actlog begind=-45 s=000492" +
"q vol 000492 f=d" + q libv 3494 000492"

With some hope for help,
Peter
