Hi I'm guessing you've already checked a) Element numbers (they CAN change) b) That your drives hasnt gone over-due on cleaning c) That the tapes has been usable before d) That your library device is available (if not, it's gonna put your volumes in an unavailable state) Not questioning you

I suspect there is nothing wrong with your volumes...there could be though. It is hard to beat Richard Sims' advice. Check the actlog(s) of the server and or library manager for error and warning messages related to tapes/paths/drives. You could also check the system log of the host system for erro

Richard thanks, When the volumes are updated to access=readwrite the commands seems to work and in the error it doesn't show much. It seems the tapes go offline fairly quickly, As soon as the request for a mount of the tape is made, At least that's the way it seems to me. Thanks again 03/06/

The Activity Log should have messages for when the tapes went to Unavailable, thus suggesting a cause. If a Library Manager is involved, it may be having issues which need investigation. Richard Sims

That is a q vol, not q libvol. It sounds like TSM or the library can not find the tapes. - The location is blank, so TSM believes the tapes are home. That does not guarantee they are, or that they are in the right address in the library. - Then the actlog should show if there are
