I agree. And a restart of TSM as Bob suggested can also solve the problem.
Yesterday i got this message 'ANR8442E CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME: Volume 000141 in
library STK9710 is currently in use.' There were no processes, mounts or
sessions but I still couldnīt checkout my volume before i restarted TSM?
Annoying..
I know TSM have problems with canceling sessions/processes which tends to
pend a long time, but they still show up in actlog, or?
Besides that, how can I audit a volume if i cant mount it?

I have seen this happen once (long time ago) I did not get an answer from
IBM as to what caused the problem. However the following steps did fix the
problem:
1. check the tape out of the library with remove=no option.
2. Open up the library and put the tape in the recovery slot.
3. Check the tape back into the library.
I just checked my notes. The only reason that the tape was checked out
with
the remove=no option was that a regular checkout failed. I do not have
anything in my notes as to why we put the tape in the recovery slot vs. the
I/O station.
I hope this helps in your situation.

Subject: Volume not available?
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.
