It's either corrupt or actually blank, meaning that TSM has written data on it, 
but the hardware didnt actually write the data (common when using an incorrect 
FC driver for example).

The "q volume" command only gathers data from the database, thus not proving 
that the cartridge actually contains data. I'm guessing you didnt do 
checkl=barcode when auditing the library. That means that TSM actually tried 
reading the data on the cartridge, but failed.

Ärende: [ADSM-L] The volume has data but I get this: ANR8941W

Hi,
After audit library:
ANR8941W The volume from slot-element 4098 in drive LTODRIVE0 (/dev/rmt0) in
library LIB3310 is
blank.

But the volume is not only labeled, but has data:

Volume Name                  Storage         Device         Estimated
Pct      Volume
                             Pool Name       Class Name      Capacity
Util      Status
------------------------     -----------     ----------     ---------
-----     --------
TS0045                       POOL3310        CLASS3310      919,886.1
92.5       Full

Does it mean the volumes is corrupted?

Thanks.
