Tried to rebuild Disk backup tape that had not yet been re-used:
- changed Status, Owner, Expiration date, Return to SCRATCH pool in the RMM panels like he has done many times before
- ran the Disk rebuild job with user abend
- even tried to change Owner from STXZ001 to STMV001 with same result
What can be the reason ?
Is the following be a reason:
Tried to make a scratch tape to master, but is was already 'expired' by VTS.
Therefore this tape lost for the system.
Would be better to try to use tape(s) which was/were not released earlier?
COPY ST of the related volume is REQR. Does it matter ?
REBUILD failed with

This confirms, that contents of the tape is lost as it was already deleted from the VTS.
In DISK you can create an optional copy for a backup/archive tape. However, this copy tape is scratched at the same time as the primary tape. So just in case such a tape was created, this is probably lost as well in the meantime.
If you still have an old DISK LISTV report for example, you can check if there was a COPY (see the COPY KEY field).
If yes, you might try to reactivate this one and see if REBUILD works.
