For newer tape technologies, the information is on the chip in each
tape.  If only TSM would retrieve that info.

There was some discussion recently about saving the output of your daily
actlogs as text files and keeping them (ad infinitum).

If you utilise your OS textual search tools to find the message
'ANR8337' or 'ANR8468' along with the volume name, this will give you
and accurate value for the number of times that the volume has been
mounted/dismounted.

Of course, you need to have been keeping your activity logs to start
with for this to be of any use.

There would still be significant coverage limitations with this
approach. Volumes in manual libraries have no libvol records.
Volumes ejected from automatic libraries lose their libvol records.
Many sites eject copy pool volumes, and some sites even ejectsome of
their
primary pool volumes.
