I believe the tape is completely gone.  I try to access that tape volume
but no success.  The tape drive cannot read or write to the tape volume.
I guess all is lost then.  :(

I guess only way to go is to delete the volume.... because I was able to
backup some of the data from tape to copy pool (tape died while it was
getting backed up to the copy pool) will I get an error message when I
try to run the restore volume command?

Hi,

Do a move data. Then a audit vol fix=yes. Then a restore vol. If you are
lucky the tape will become empty, if not Query content and delete
volume.
Some data will be back-upped again. Some data will be lost.

One of the tape in out primary tape storage pool went bad on Friday and
I was wonder if there is anyway to recover data from this tape from TSM.
All the read and write error occurred to this tape while it was getting
copied to a copy pool.  I am sure not too much information was written
to this tape volume but I want to make sure I don't lose any data.
Anyway to get this information back?
