Hi Everyone!

I'm stumped on this problem.  The tape in question, 474599, is a magstar
3590.  It has a device class tape unit of silom for all of the magstar
tapes used for tsm.  This is running on a tsm server on the mainframe at
5.1.6.2.  I am receiving errors on this tape that a copy cannot be made due
to error ANR5036E - Open of tape unit SILOM failed, return code is 2067.
This error was received while trying to make the offsite tape copy.  I have
also tried to move the data, but as you can see below, that didn't work
either...

Here is the output from a q vol f=d:

           Date Became Pending:

         Number of Read Errors: 0

As you can see it is marked read/write and it is an onsite tape.  Does
anyone know what might be causing this bizarre problem?

Thanks in advance!!!!
