I'm getting "ANR1229W Volume 700270 cannot be backed up - volume is offline or access mode is "unavailable" or "destroyed" " messages for a volume. A "q libvol 3494 700270" reports the volume is in the library. A "q vol 700270 f=d" reports access=read/write and status=filling. The tape is not already mounted on a drive when the error occus. So in what sense is this tape unavailable or destroyed and how do I convince TSM to use the tape. David
