I am using 2 X IBM 4560 drives (slave and master) and the server is running Suse 8. To my knowledge, there's no driver such as IBMTape that could be used by Tapeutil, for example. The inventory function of the library succeeds (on-panel diagnostics). As far as copy pools go, I wish I had some ....

Have you done an audit library from the tape library's point of view, not TSM's? If not, that is where I would start. If you do that, follow it with a tsm audit library. If you've already done that, I would next repeat the audit volume while watch to see if the tape physically gets mounted into a drive. If it does, it is time for a restore volume to recover the contents of the tape from your copypool copy. After the restore volume, you can either try a label libvol .. overwrite=yes or just replace the tape cart.
