Maybe but I don't think so. What I think happened: bptm on the media
server set the status to FULL because it reached the EOT marker assuming
another tape would get loaded to continue the job but then didn't get
changed back when the job failed. To verify this:
a) Run the Media Status report. That should confirm the volume as being FULL.
b) Run a Media Contents report on CHEM01. This report loads the tape and
sees what's actually on it. See what the backup ID is at the end of the
volume. Then run an Images on Media report for the same volume and see if
the backup ID shows up there. This report looks at the catalogs. I'm
guessing the backup ID listed at the end of the Media Contents report won't
exist in the Images on Media report.
