Try the WRKTAPCTG command against your *MLB device. Option 10 is initialize.

Subject: Tape initialize problem

HI We have the 3570 tape drive. It seems that the INZTAP command only
initializes the first tape, because we had a case recently where the first
tape loaded libraries, it became full, and the second tape had a unable to
load message, and the job hung there. Which in itself was upsetting because
there was a Monmsg right after the Save command, but it didn't kick in. So
what we need to do is a procedure first that will check all the tapes in the
drive and init them. I am not sure how this is to be done.
