Media status question

If a tape is marked as follows:
mode=recyc
expiration= expired
%used=full

Is that tape in the pool to be reused? I also noted that the savesets on the volume are marked with a status of recyc, however they may be some with a status=abort susp.

I am in need tapes to mount but receiving messages indicating the group is waiting on a volume

Thank you.

    Yes.

    indicating the group is waiting on a volume

    Maybe is waiting for something else that thinks is available when actually is not (eg. location field not being updated or simple unsync of library status).

    You should not get that in case 2 devices are available (unless you have device limitations in poll configuration). For sync library inventory should be fine.
