No, that's it! The reason your tapes became 'inconsistent' is most probably because somebody cancelled HSM when it was using the tapes.

ARC0378I TTOC RECORD AND TAPE MEDIA CONTENTS ARE INCONSISTENT ON TAPE VOLUME According to the explanation of the ARC0378I "of a mismatch between the indicated data sets on the tape volume volser as described in the offline control data set record (OCDS) tape table of contents record (TTOC) and the actual data sets residing on the volume." The solution is to apply the EXTENDED MEDIACONTROLS function. I am not sure how I can go about it because I have not very familiar with this procedure. Could someone tell me how I can go about fixing the problem?
