Greetings, we just got a new TSM and TS4300 system in place and I'm the lucky guy who gets to learn it. However, it's a steep learning curve, and I know next to nothing.
We have 7 tapes to start with. 1 for data, 2 for copy pool, 2 for db backup and 1 scratch.
I checked out 3 tapes last week according to DRM procedures outlined in documentation, but when going back to check back in, I'm very confused. First off the dbbackups stopped running, saying there was no scratch available.
This is what I have here (000002M8 is not even on this list):

I put the three tapes in the I/O slot today and moved them back into the main drawer and then tried to figure out how to get them back into service, but am stumped. I was able to get one tape to "mountable" state by issuing this command: update volume 000003M8 access=readwrite , but it didn't work for 4M8 and 1M8.
As of now:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I'm fairly certain I'm doing this totally wrong.
