Problem conclusion

• This problem was fixed.
  Affected platforms: AIX, Linux, and Windows.
  
  ANR8535W No data found at the first data block of the volume
  ABCDEF.
  Explanation
  The read operation reads data from the beginning of a non-empty
  private
  volume successfully, but the first data block does not contain
  data.
  SystemAction
  The fetch data block operation is stopped.
  UserResponse
  Check the tape to ensure that the correct tape is mounted, and
  then check
  the host system activity log to see whether there is any error
  that is related
  to the tape or the drive that is mounted. If the issue is still
  not resolved,
  report the issue to the vendor of the tape drive.
