I have some tapes that seem to be having some problems.  I am getting tape
errors pulled on them, and they have been about as reclaimed as they are
going to be.  But now they are marked unavailable.

I have tried marking them available, making sure they are in the library and
checked in, and have done a 'move data' on them.  But due to errors they are
marked 'unavailable' again.

I have even marked one destroyed.  But it still shows (<.2%) data still on
the tape.

What is the 'right way' to handle these?  Details on these tapes follow.

TIA ... Jack

Oh yea, my config: Server Win5K with TSM 4.2.3.1 including DRM, library 3583
w/ 60 slots, and 6 LTO-1 drives  Clients: Novell 4.11 using client TSM
4.2.2.0, NT/2K client TSM 5.1.1.0, a couple of  Win98 using 4.2.2.0, and 3
NT/2K clients using 4.2.3.0  --  Stuck at this level till I can get rid of
the 30+ Novell clients.
