Yes, I did attempt a few times to issue the mount command. In the console window, the director responded to the mount with something to the effect of "Unable to use tape LTO_MON_03. The a tape must be in the monthly pool, must be appendable and must have the recycle flag set to yes."
Because of the message, I decided not to attempt to use a tape that was partially filled, by setting it's recyle flag to yes. My understanding is that recycling a tape would purge the existing jobs from the tape, which was not what I desired.
