Volume *N on device TAP02 is wrong type for *SL file QSYSTAP in QSYS after INZTAP

Because of some of erroneous media errors popping up on our 3570, I 
initialized several tapes to see if they were still good.  Now when I try 
to write to the tapes, I get a CPA4058 message that says:

Volume *N on device TAP02 is wrong type (C INZ R).

The cause is "Volume *N on device TAP02 is wrong type for *SL file QSYSTAP 
in QSYS.  A standard label volume is required for a *SL or *BLP file.  A 
nonlabeled volume is required for a *NL, *NS, or *LTM file".


I am new to tape management and have no idea what a *SL or *BLP file is. 
 Apparently, I did not initialize them correctly.  I initialized the all 
the tapes with NEWVOL *NONE  and VOL *MOUNTED as this has been the 
procedure here for years and it has always worked.

Answering the messages with a INZ does work but I need to prevent the 
messages from occurring.  Any ideas on why I am getting the CPA4058 
messages?
