have you tried to audit the volume to get things sort of reset ?
mtlib -l /blah/blah -a -Vxxxxxxx
also does a query of the library show anything such as a gripper not
available ?
tape might have been on its way out of the library and the gripper failed
to be able to release it...
or any other intervention on the atl ???

OK, I"ve never seen this one before!
I was trying to track down a missing TSM scratch tape.
The library manager DB SEARCH says it is IN the 3494, but it's current
category code is FF10, which is the EJECT category.
mtlib -qV -Vnnnnnn -l libname
shows "volume in process of being ejected".
Well, it isn't! And nothing shows up in the eject queue on the library
manager.
I have ejected other tapes today with no problem.
And if I use mtlib to try and CHANGE the category code again, I get "Change
Category operation failed, volume in use".
It has been this way for weeks, based on the last entry I see for it in the
TSM activity log.
Any idea how I fix this?
Thanks!
