HI,
in such case (scratch tape updated in private by TSm), we just do a checkout
remove=no, then a label overwrite=yes or checkin as scratch.
Yours

Subject: Tape Recovery Questions
We had an UPS failure in the data center. When the UPS failed, it
immediately disconnected power to all devices in the data center. At
the time of the failure, there were 3 tapes being written to in our 3583
library. After the UPS was repaired, I brought everything back online.
TSM marked the three tapes as having an I/O error (no shock here) and
wrote the following type message to the log for each tape:
12/17/04 05:07:29 ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume 223AHV
in dri
ve DRIVE2 (/dev/rmt2). (SESSION: 383, PROCESS:
18)
12/17/04 05:08:01 ANR8778W Scratch volume 223AHV changed to Private
Status
to prevent re-access. (SESSION: 383, PROCESS: 18)
Now, my question is how to recover from this. I have tried to identify
what was on the tapes so that I may recover it from other tape pools, or
maybe discard it if not necessary to rebuild it. However, the tapes are
not assigned to any storage pools so the "query volume" and "query
content" commands are not working.
Any suggestions on what to do next to identify what is on the tapes?
