Could it be there are two cleaning tapes with or without barcode inside the
library?
In 3584 library when I do "show slots libraryname" I see cleaning tapes
listed, but dont' show up in q libvolume
Also, there is a good command I use for Unix, "tapeutil -f /dev/smc0
inventory" can assist you in PD your situation.
Not sure if it works on Windows.

Hi,

I have an issue with my 3583 Ultrium LTO changer. We are pretty much
running our changer at capacity the entire time and have to check out tapes
in the morning in order to checkin scratch to get a db backup and usually
have appx. 56 or 57 private tapes in the library at any one time. Just
recently I have noticed there is a discrepancy in the number of tapes in
the library and the number of slots available:
The library's capacity is 60 and running 'Q LIBV' shows only 58 tapes
within the library. If I try to check any more scratch tapes in I get TSM
returning an error that it cannot checkin scratch as the library is full. I
have issued 'AUDIT LIBR <lib_name> CHECKL=BARCODE' and 'AUDIT LIBR
<lib_name> CHECKL=Y' but it still returns the same number of volumes within
the library (58).
I desparately need the 2 slots that TSM does not now recognise. Is this
likely to be a problem with the DB or the library and does anybody know how
to correct?

Many thanks, C. Adams.
