Hello All,
 I have recently taken over the TSM admin duties in a small AIX 4.3.3
environment and have little experience with Tivoli and how to manage our
3584 library. Yesterday I had one of our four tape drives go offline, and
errpt indicates a disk drive error. Now I have a tape that has gone
unavailable twice and shows 0% utilized. My question (finally) is what is
the best procedure for getting any data off of the tape and removing it from
the library and the database so that Tivoli knows that it is damaged and is
being removed. Also since I will be replacing this tape with a new one, can
I just remove the barcode label and put it on the new one?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Shawn
