Dan,

The TSM Sever is on AIX 5.1

Oslevel - 5.1.0.0

Level indicated by  "lslpp -l bos.rte.libc" - 5.1.0.25

TSM shows the volumes as  - Private.

I ran the audit library but no use.

The Library is connected to the server by SCSI.

Thanks

regards
murthy

Which AIX version? 4.3.3 or 5.1? And with which maintenance level patch
set? (Ie, 4.3.3 ML10, 5.1 ML02 are the latest) Or if you don't know the
ML set number, what version is listed in 'lslpp -l bos.rte.libc'?

What does the output look like for:

# lsdev -Cc tape

And within TSM, what does TSM think:

tsm> q libv <library name>

specifically, for the tapes that were mentioned in the actlog.

You may want to try a library audit:

tsm> audit library <library name> checklabel=barcode

Finally, how is the 3583 attached to the server? SCSI or FC-AL?
