It depends on what the real problem with the tape is. Is it a physical tape or a virtual one? Has it been overwritten? The ARC309I message you previously reported does not answer that question. It only tells you that HSM thinks it still owns the tape. But the AUDIT command already told you that. What does the LIST TTOC command tell you? If there is only one file on the tape, then all is probably lost. If more than one, can you restore any of the ones that are not damaged? Does the AUDIT VOLUMES(V05537) command provide any useful information? Do you have any tool (we called ours TAPESNIF) that will print the HDR1 records from the tape? If not, can you mount the tape as BLP and have IDCAMS print files 1, 4, 7, etc? Can you determine the intent of the FIXCDS commands AUDIT is recommending? HSM has a Diagnosis manual and a Data Areas manual that should help. Does this provide sufficient incentive to start duplexing to provide a recovery path when, not if, this happens again? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
