Q libv only shows tapes that are in your library - once DRM spits the tape
out, it won't show up there.
Q vol only shows tapes that are in storage pools.
Your tape is some other type, probably a data base backup tape (since DRM
spits those out along with the copy pool tapes, by default.)
Non-storage pool tapes are defined in the volume history file.
Try this: q volhist type=dbb
It will show up there if it's a data base backup tape.
But don't try to check it in or get it back; a DBB tape should go offsite
along with your copy pool tapes. They are worthless without a data base
backup!

Subject: TAPE DEFINITION LOST
TSM spit out a tape this morning with it's DRM offsite tapes. I can not
find where it is defined to our server by doing a q libv or a q vol. When I
try to check it in or redefine it to the server it says that it is already
defined or that it contains export data. What does this mean? How do I get
this tape back? Are there any SQL Select commands I can run to help me out?
