Peter, I would anticipate the only way to get these drives back online would be to bounce the TSM server. Having tapes stay at "In Use" even though there is no process associated with it would appear to be some sort of a product defect.

I have two tapes that are mounted and "In Use" according to the q mount command. Both volumes were mounted by a reclamation process and both volumes encountered I/O errors while reclaiming their data. Once the I/O error happened, the drives were made Unavailable by TSM and the reclamation process moved on to the next tape. This left the tape with the error in the drive and still "In Use". The reclamation process is no longer running, but these tapes not going Idle. My question is, how to I dismount these tapes (from within TSM) and set these drives back online? We are running TSM 4.2.2.13, on Windows 2K, with an IBM 3584 tape library. The web interface for the 3584 tape library is currently not accessible (due to another issue). Thanks in advance.
