Why don't you just check the volumes whose access is offsite and whose
status is empty ? This is what I do.  And to be sure that all volumes
present in library are in an readwrite status, I just put all the volumes
of the copypool in offsite state and then all the volumes of the libvol in
readwrite state. For that, I use a Shell script which is below.
The only thing which is special is that I only have private volumes and all
the volumes of my copy pool have a name starting with 'COP'
But I guess it wouldn't be very difficult to make a check on the libvol
volumes to select the ones which belong to the copy pool


#!/bin/ksh
LIBVOLS=$(dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "select volume_name from libvolumes
where volume_name like 'C%'" | grep COP)
TOTVOLS=$(dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "select volume_name from volumes
where volume_name like 'C%'" | grep COP)
for VOL in $TOTVOLS
do
     dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "upd vol $VOL acc=offsite"
done
for VOL in $LIBVOLS
do
     dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "upd vol $VOL acc=readw"
done

Hello,

I would like to know how to compare volume names in volumes and libvolumes
with a select statement. Or if there are other ways to determine missing
volumes? I use 4.1.3.0.

ex. I dont use DRM but I send my volumes offsite and update their access to
offsite. I bring back my volumes onsite, I do a checkin and an 'upd vol *
access=readw wherestg=copypool whereaccess=offsite wherestatus=empty'.

If the volumes arent checked in the library or by some reason still are
offsite when they are updated I will miss/need them sooner or later... How
do I find eventually missing volumes?

Dont suggest using DRM, I will if there is a need for that product (server
to server).
