You can re-configure the mailbox slots to storage slots and get some
more tapes into the library that way.

Subject: 2 slots lost in library - Help!

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.
