Is it your only copy of the data? If not and it's a primary storage pool
tape volume, just do a restore volume. If it's a copy storage pool volume
and you have the primary just delete it and the next time you do a copy
stgpool it will re-copy the data over to another tape in the storage pool.

Subject: Bad tape w/ data on it...can't get data off...please help


I have a tape w/ data going back over a month...and w/ reclamations, it has
come up for data move...
TSM won't read the header of the tape and therefore won't acknowledge the
tape exists other than the barcode.

a manual move won't work
audit won't work either (fix yes/no)...all I get is TSM taking the tape
offline

Anyone w/ an idea?

Thanks
