You have two volumes on-site marked as unavailable, probably because of
media errors you can try to update these and re-use them by using 'upd
vol 'volname' acc=readwrite'.

Likewise you have a few in the on-site-pool that are readonly which you
can also set to readwrite?

You could also try migrating files off partially full ones to
consolidate free tapes.

Hope that helps.

_________________________________

Well, you have two volumes in 'read-only' state  and three in
'unavailable' state. If you expect them to be used and written to, make
them read-write (READW) status. If they then return to their previous
state, you need to find out why.

A 'q volume <volid> f=d' command will tell you if there are read or
write
errors on these volumes.
