themselves

Hi

I'm guessing you've already checked 

a) Element numbers (they CAN change)

b) That your drives hasnt gone over-due on cleaning

c) That the tapes has been usable before

d) That your library device is available (if not, it's gonna put your volumes 
in an unavailable state)

Not questioning your competence, but have you tried running a audit library?

Most of the issues with TSM & tape volumes usually adhere from configuration 
issues. You either had it before, or you got it now. If you got it now, a 
configuration change has happened. If you had it before, I'm sure it's one of 
the above.

If it's nothing of the above, describe your problem more in detail and I might 
be able to help you.

Regards

Daniel Sparrman

Richard thanks,

When the volumes are updated to access=readwrite the commands seems to work and 
in the error it doesn't show much. It seems the tapes go offline fairly 
quickly, As soon as the request for a mount of the tape is made, At least 
that's the way it seems to me.

Thanks again

The Activity Log should have messages for when the tapes went to Unavailable, 
thus suggesting a cause.  If a Library Manager is involved, it may be having 
issues which need investigation.
