Hi Tom,

1) You must checkin the scratch tapes before the private, since
performing a private checkin first will cause all of your scratch tapes
to have a private status. Therefore do a scratch checkin for your
scratch tapes first, then a private checkin for your tapes containing
data. 

2)Normally if the volume is mounted in a barcode library you are not
prompted, but if the volume is not in the library's inventory you will
receive a prompt requesting the volume mount. I do believe that you are
asked to use the I/O slot. 

Good luck,

Edwin

I'm having a senior moment here while trying to revise my TSM server
recovery D/R documentation (we just sprung for a REAL library in the D/R
contract!). (3584 SCSI library)

It's been a l-o-n-g time since I've done this, I need to get the doc
revised
this week, and I won't get to test until April.

Two questions:

1)After I do the 'audit library <libname> checklabel=barcode' I need to
do
two checkins; I seem to recall that the order is critical, and that I
need
to do "checkin libv <libname> search=yes checklabel=barcode
status=scratch"
first and then the "checkin libv <libname> search=yes checklabel=barcode
status=private" or I end up with no scratch tapes. But this is memory
from
back in the ADSM 3.1 days . . .

2) When I do the database restore (dsmserv restore db dev=lto
vol=<volser>
commit=yes) with a library, do I get a prompt to insert the tape in the
I/O
station and reply, or do I get told to insert the tape in drive x within
y
minutes?

TIA
