You have to cancel the process or session that is using that tape before you can dismount it. You can only dismount a tape whose status is IDLE. Since that tape is mounted read-only and it is waiting for a second tape to be mounted, a reclamation or move data process is probably running.
Try: q proc cancel proc <process#> ______________________________ John Monahan Consultant Infrastructure Solutions Group Computech Resources, Inc.

ANR8379I Mount point in device class DC-SUNL1000 is waiting for the volume mount to complete, status: WAITING FOR VOLUME. ANR8334I 2 matches found. DYI514 is tape number, and not always is the same; but when I execute command "DISMOUNT VOLUME dyi514", I received "ANR8348E DISMOUNT VOLUME: Volume DYI514 is not "Idle"". It could spent many days in that state and I have to restart the server. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance. Marcelo.
