The UP command must be used by a super-group user. 
If a tape drive is down, the PUP UP command makes the drive 
accessible to user processes. Bring up a tape drive during 
installation and any time after to restore the device to an operational 
state after placing it in the DOWN state. 
Examples 
To bring up (place back in operation) the tape drive named $TAPE1, 
enter: 
 > PUP UP $TAPE1 
To check that $TAPE1 is actually up: 
 > PUP LISTDEV $TAPE1
