I have a 3575 also. If the "Last Use" is blank then the "Status" should be Scratch, if so this is normal. If status is Private then most likely what has happened is what we have here, the operators accidentally set the write protect tab on the tape (it's easy to do with these tapes). Check the tape out and look at the tab. Set it back off and check back in as Scratch.
If you have enough retention in actlog you would see the first attempt to use this tape failed due to write protect and Status was set to private to prevent reuse. Need a little more info for your other problem. David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/26/02 08:29AM >>> Hi, I don't get stumped too often, no more than once a day, but I've run into a couple of problems I can't figure out. I'm using a 3575 library with server running 4.3.3 aix. For the last two or three days I'm getting nothing when I run an eject script. When I run a q libv I have tapes that have nothing in the column under last use. When I try to query the volume under the q vol command or q drmedia command nothing comes up. Going through the act log I'm getting many messages of volumes that are marked offsite and still contains files which could not be move ANR1163W. I don't know how we got to this point, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
