It has and it does, here anyway.

If you issue the command: VMARCH VOLUME DAMAGED volid, then the missing
or damaged tape won't be requested.  I would suggest you close that tape
set as well.  Melanie Thornton[sic] of SCI was very helpful to me in
preparing our site for VMAMPU.

In addition there is a COPY command for VMAMPU which will create a new
set of twins on the next available volsers, if you are running twins.
