Re: Migrate wants scratch, I can't label.

Jeff,

you are right. For *manual* libraries you have to prelabel tapes and have
some already labeled on hand.
The only hint I can give you is to change HIGHMIG setting of the stgpool
(!!), cancel migration process and label few tapes. If you forget highmig,
new migration will kick out very soon.

Subject:        Migrate wants scratch, I can't label.

I think I know what is going on here, but I want to double check

I have a manual library, it is used as the migration point for a specific
disk pool.   Basically the disk pool and drive are used for one specific
client that wants dedicated media.

Anyway, TSM  wants a scratch volume, I figure, no problem, I throw in a
blank tape, run dsmlabel, label a tape, it reports success, so I shove the
tape back in the drive.  It is still asking for SCRTCH R/W.  In fact it
has
been for the last 100 minutes.

I tried "Label libvolume 4mmlib1 ds3-02 OVERWRITE=Yes" and the console
tells me that the library has no available drives.

Mountlimit is set to DRIVES, maxscratch is like 500 or something.

"select count(*) as num_scratch_tapes from libvolumes where status
='Scratch' " returns 0

Do I need to kill the migration process, then use "Label Libvolume" by any
chance?

Thanks
