First put the tape in READ-ONLY access with the "UPDATE VOLUME" command, The use the "MOVE DATA" to move the data off the tape. Note any errors. If there are any errors use the "RESTORE STG" command to repair the storage pool.
Finally, eject the tape and discard it. Orville L. Lantto Datatrend Technologies, Inc.
