Checkin scratch volume errors
2015-10-04 18:07:24
I've been getting a persistent little error lately. It doesn't seem to
hurt anything, but I'm not sure if it's an indication of a bigger
problem.
The problem occurs when I am checking in new scratch tapes to replace
copy pool tapes sent off site. The command I'm using is:
checkin libv 8mmlib status=scratch search=yes checkl=yes
Following is a portion of my activity log:
06/11/97 17:06:25 ANR8422I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Operation for library
8MMLIB
started as process 69.
06/11/97 17:08:23 ANR8430I Volume A00057 has been checked into
library
8MMLIB.
06/11/97 17:10:13 ANR8430I Volume A00056 has been checked into
library
8MMLIB.
06/11/97 17:13:04 ANR8443E : Volume A00028 in library 8MMLIB cannot
be
assigned a status of SCRATCH.
06/11/97 17:15:38 ANR8304E Time out error on drive 8MMBOT (/dev/mt0)
in
library 8MMLIB.
As you can see, ADSM is trying to checkin tape A00028. That tape is
already known to ADSM as follows:
q vol a00028 f=d
Volume Name: A00028
Storage Pool Name: AIX_TAPE
Device Class Name: 8MMTAPE
Estimated Capacity (MB): 4,944.0
%Util: 37.5

Pct. Reclaimable Space: 44.4
Scratch Volume?: Yes
In Error State?: No
Number of Writable Sides: 1
Number of Times Mounted: 22
Write Pass Number: 1
Approx. Date Last Written: 06/11/97 00:59:51
Approx. Date Last Read: 06/11/97 04:10:51
Date Became Pending:
Number of Write Errors: 0
Number of Read Errors: 0
Volume Location:

It's always this tape or one other. My question is why is ADSM telling
the drive to pull that tape and check it in as a scratch tape?
For info: ADSM Version 2, Release 1, Level 5.11
AIX 4.1.1
IBM 7331 tape drive (robot)
Thanks in advance for any pointers...
