Hello everyone, I am trying to eject all tapes from my SL8500 library by using the move media function and it keeps failing on tape N00810. Upon further inspection it appears as if N00810 is "missing" physically from the library.

(SESSION: 1608285, PROCESS: 30531) Within TSM it appears as follows: Volume Name: N00810 State: Mountable in library Last Update Date/Time: 09/26/07 10:29:07 Location: Storage Pool Name: TAPE_NDMP_OFFSITE Automated LibName: NASLIB Volume Status: Filling Access: Unavailable Last Reference Date: 08/23/07 13:20:16 I had thought that marking it unavailable would prevent it from being moved and I also tried marking it as destroyed and neither access has worked. I also left it as read/write and it failed to move it with that accessibility as well. Does anyone know what can be done in order to work around this tape until it can be found? I have other tapes to eject/move, but the move media command keeps failing on that particular tape. Any help is appreciated!
