...small addendum to my reply re: step #2 Without checking the full flow of command processing I cant be absolutely certain any more of what rmm does..... However, as I said, it should allow you to change the location information to reflect the actual situation via commands. You might have to add NOEJECT operand because rmm believes the volume is library resident - depends how you 'manually' ejected it. If RMM shows volume is 'in transit' you dont need NOEJECT. I know that when the TCDB is not connected or library is off-line you can even add FORCE operand that enables some subset of failing commands to work in any case.
