If there's any data on the tape being ejected -
the VTS copies it to another tape before ejecting.
Fear not.
Enjoy.

Thank you all who replied offline and online. Now I have downloaded a
copy of the book and it will help us.
I really got to ask the next dumb questions. Is it advisable to check if
the volume is really empty? How do I check if there is really no data?

When the VTS ejects a volume as read-only, it means that the VTS has
determined that the tape volume needs to be replaced. We were told that
the volume is empty, and VTS had placed it in read-only status until
there was no valid data on it.
You need to get a new tape that will replace the one ejected, and insert
it in so the VTS can use it.
