Unable to eject media from TSM
can anyone help me.
Unable to eject media from TSM so not able to make room for new scratch media. Tapes that should've been ejected where moved to local_offsite, however where not ejected.
Most significant error is :
"Could not move volume T00332L2 from slot-element 1107 to slot-element
769."
However the full console output is below
ANR1694I Server NOT-TSM-002 processed command 'MOVE DRM * WHEREST=mountable
TOST=vault COPY=local_offsite SOURCE=dbb REMOVE=bulk' and completed
successfully.
ANR1694I Server NOT-TSM-003 processed command 'MOVE DRM * WHEREST=mountable

successfully.

update:
Following a restart of the tape library and then of TSM the eject_local and eject_remote commands appear to work although few tapes are coming out.
I will need to go through maintenance task for all db's to ensure they are running and also establish why system is looking for tape number T00332L2 to eject even though I have confirmed it is not physically in the tape library

Sounds like you need to audit the library. Try the following.
audit library LIB01 checklabel=barcode

I would recommend:
Check everything out to TSM DB and then run the check in scratch then then private.
This will sync the library and TSM up for tape location.
Checkout volume without removing it from the library with Remove=no
>>-CHECKOut LIBVolume--library_name----+-volume_name-+---------->
'-| A |-------'
.-REMove--=--Bulk-----.
>--+---------------------+-------------------------------------><
'-REMove--=--+-Yes--+-'
+-No---+
'-Bulk-'
*********
Then check libv with search=scratch 1st and then private
checkin libv library_name search=yes status=scratch
checkin libv library_name search=yes status=private
>>-CHECKIn LIBVolume--library_name------------------------------>
.-SEARCH--=--No-.
>----+-volume_name--+---------------+-+------------------------->
'-SEARCH--=--Yes--+-------+------'
'-| A |-'
.-OWNer--=--""----------.
>--STATus--=--+-PRIvate-+--+-----------------------+------------>
'-SCRatch-' '-OWNer--=--server_name-'Systems Engineering (Storage Administration)
