Thanks. That works. Seems a bit more inefficient than previously, but
I guess that's the downside of larger tape capacity.

I manually move the tape(s) from the EE port and issue the following
command:

checkin libv $LIBRARY search=yes vollist=$VOLLIST checklabel=barcode
status=scratch

Where $LIBRARY and $VOLLIST are what is appropriate for your situation.

Subject: SpectraLogic 64000 (Gator) and TSM 4.1.3


I have two questions about using TSM 4.1.3 with the SpectraLogic
Gator/64000. Our Gator currently has 75 slots designated to a
"virtual library" (call it LIB1), two drives, and shares the
Entry/Exit port which has 30 slots.

1) I can't seem to figure out how to checkin library volumes. On our
SpectraLogic Bullfrog (40-slot carousel, 4 drives, and 1 Entry/Exit
slot), we issue: checkin libv lib1 000150 stat=scr   in order to
check tape 000150 in as a scratch tape. This same command does not
seem to work for Gator. I can *manually* move the tapes from E/E port
on the Gator to a slot in the virtual library LIB1, but then when I
do a 'q libv lib1' I don't see those tapes.
      Does anyone know how to checkin volumes to the Gator with TSM?

2) How do you choose the virtual library where data gets backed up
to? It's associated with the storagepool ... okay, but then how do
you determine which storagepool it gets backed up to? I have
backuppool and backuppool2, one for LIB1 and one for LIB2. Without
designating, it all seems to be going to backuppool, which means it's
in LIB1. Nowhere in the domain or policy sets do I see any place to
indicate which backuppool (and/or library) to back data up to.

Thanks for any insights.
