It appears to be locked and barring a reboot, we don't know how to clear it. At the Unix prompt: server:/u1/dbms/TCR# tctl -f /dev/rmt1 rewind /dev/rmt1: Resource temporarily unavailable server:/u1/dbms/TCR# At the uv prompt: >ASSIGN MT1 TO MTU 0 <--- I'm stuck here We did LIST.READU, and cleared the locks that were set against my id: >unlock user 313 all Clearing Record locks. Clearing GROUP locks. Clearing FILE locks. There is obviously someone else who had locked the drive before I arrived, but there are no more users listed in LIST.READU, or PORT.STATUS that show a tape drive being used. PORT.STATUS: 519788 t.stevef 313 /dev/pts/37 ASSIGN MT1 TO MTU 0 Any suggestions?
