When TSM tries to mount a tape and the tape mount fails, it marks the tape
as "unavailable".
If you search back through your activity log, you can probably find when it
happened for each tape.
Usually this occurs because of a problem with the tape robot.
Once the mechanical problem is resolved, it's up to you to mark the tapes
available again.
You can do it through the GUI, or the cmd line:
update volume xxxxxx access=readwrite
