Stop/start TSM to get it writing again. IBM Spectrum Protect Server for AIX - Version 8, Release 1, Level 1.000 any run across this issue

I encounter that issue years ago.
I got the following from support.

QUERY ACTLOG does not return output

The QUERY ACTLOG administrative command is run on a Tivoli Storage Manager server. The command returns no output or is slow to return output.

www.ibm.com

The solution in the above tech doc did not work for me.
I ended up upgrading the TSM Server to 6.3.5.000 since I was at the maintenance level.

Server APARs fixed in the IBM Storage Protect server Version 8.1 fix pack levels

What APARs are fixed in the IBM Storage Protect server Version 8.1 fix pack levels?

www.ibm.com

The above doc list several APAR dealing with the actlog but nothing about no messages being written into the actlog.

I would upgrade the SP Server to 8.1.17.000 . If you don't like to be at the bleeding edge, then 8.1.16.100 .

Good Luck,
Sias

So now I have another question, client wants to restore data from 2022, tapes are in a location=VAULT. What is the best way to get these backup tapes into the library for a restore. The only msg I have seen is change access to readwrite and that would make them mountable, but that did not work.
