Re: Checkin / Checkout trouble

In worst case, in my shop, we 
* take down the TSM sever (power it off), 
* power cycle on the tape library (leave it down for a minute or two after
power off)  
* wait for the library to come back up and online (20 to 30 minutes), 
* power back on the TSM sever.  
* do a full audit of the library.
It is nasty, but seems to work.

Aloha,

I told the library to checkout a tape .. which i did, but i didn't reply to
the process for 3 weeks ... .But now i couldn't reply to the process.
In the meantine i cancel the process ... which didn't work.
I took out the tape and check it in again ...
but now i have to process, which don't work.

The process is still pending after 1 week. What can i do, to get ride
 of that dieing process? The other process did start, as i should.

How long will the library ask me to reply for a process?
Will it expire? And if, how does I complete the task then.



Any ideas?

with regards
