confused between physical label on tape and TSM labeling ???
Hi all,
what exactly label libvol does ?
I am confused between label physically located on Tape and labeling in TSM with "label libvol" command.
I have few new tapes that are having physical lablels on them and i tried to do following but TSM did not find them.
I have added these tapes to tape library (via I/O slot) and did following
Please let me know what is wrong and how to solve this.
thanks in advance!
and then i tried below too, but no luckCode:tsm: TSM>checkin libvol IBM3494-05 search=yes checklabel=yes status=scratch ANS8003I Process number 1974 started. tsm: TSM>q actlog search=1974 Date/Time Message -------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- 11/28/2011 14:58:58 ANR0984I Process 1974 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 14:58:58.

Add OVERWRITE=YES and see if that fixes it.

Your checkin probably caused the tapes to be checked in and then set to private when TSM could not use them. You need to check them out then rerun the label libvol command.

Hi Chad Small,
i can't see them in list produced by "q libvol" command and also at AIX level i used "mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qI" to check.
Anyway, how could i checkout the tapes ?
Thanks in advance!

Use this command, it should work,
tsm> label libvolume library_name Search=Yes labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch
if above doesn't work, Use Library GUI to remove those tapes to I/O slot and run following command,
tsm> label libvolume library_name search=bulk labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch
or
tsm> label libvolume library_name search=bulk labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch override=yes

thanks for the replies,
looks like "labelsource=barcode" option works only for SCSI library but mine is 349X library (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...nragd55207.htm)

OK...the tapes were ejected to I/O ports as checkin was not successful
so removed and added them again to I/O ports of library and did following and everything works fine.
Thanks everyone for replies.label libvol <library_name> search=yes checkin=scratch overwrite=yes
