The first thing I would check is that the tapes are not still in the drives
via ACSLS command 'q dr all' and 'q vol <vol>'.
The 'q vol' will give you the status and location of the volume.
When you say you ran an audit, was it an ACSLS audit or a TSM audit?
We've had problems where the drive never actually ejected the tape.

Hi Anil,
No, there were no checkouts being done against this tape or any of the
others that I have seen experience this error. I have narrowed it down to
6 tape drives within the library, most of which are happening on 3. As
you see below the tape is mounted/dismounted ok and then several hrs.
later it is requested to be mounted again and it says it's not present in
the library when in fact it is. I have been looking at 25 tapes for this
past week which have experienced this issue and it is all the same. The
tape is physically in the library (I have checked through ACSLS which is
the software that controls the SUN SL8500) and we also did an audit of the
library at the beginning of the week to resolve this issue, but that
doesn't appear to have helped. I'm having the vendor of the tape drives
check out the 6 drives to see if it is a hardware issue with the drives or
a robot in the library or something... but I can't pinpoint what is
causing this issue yet.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I have a TSM server 5.3.5.2 on AIX 5.3 with an external library which is
a SUN SL8500 and Gresham EDT manages the drive requests. I have come
across an issue where the tape is physically in the library, but TSM
says that it is not present. Any ideas/suggestions on what can be done?
Thanks in advance!
