Stop all processes, unmount all tapes and audit the library.

It looks like TSM thinks tape 100562 is in the slot currently occupied
by 100617 instead.

Either the paths are wrong for the drives, (which I doubt) or the
library's inventory is a little off.

To verify, do a q libv, determine which slot TSM "thinks" the tape is
in, and then open up your library and see if they match.  You may have
to actually take the tape out, and then back in again.

I would try the audit first, then check TSM's list-o-tapes.  IF the tape
your needing doesn't show up there may be other problems.  Such as tape
stuck in picker, not in library at all (mistakenly sent offsite), etc.
