Tape location and DRM

When I q drm it states that one of my volume is mountable. However, I check the vaulting location and the tape in question is vaulted in our offsite vaulting location. How do I correct this issue?

Thanks to all who offered advice. I may have been taking the book definition of mediawait too literally -- as pertaining to removable volumes, not disk. I was able to correlate the MediaWait condition showed by TSMManager with dsmaccnt.log records for the nodes last night. 20 nodes were affected

Keith, You could mitigate this somewhat by creating more disk storage pool volumes, and spreading them across more physical disks. I don't entirely agree with Allen that your disk pool is going to be slower than your incoming networks. It is certainly possible to build a disk storage pool e
