To answer the part of your question about the lock position, the tape
lock position doesn't matter when you're trying to read (recover) a
dataset from the tape. It isn't actually a tape lock, it is a
read/write lock - if it is set in the lock position, you can't write
anything new to the tape. It doesn't lock the tape from reading.
Which begs the question as to why we call it a read/write lock instead
of a write lock.
Because it's Friday and my mind is elsewhere. I should have actually
called it a write protect thing-a-ma-giggie. :-)
