I assume you are using the "move media" command to check these volumes
out
of the library and update the overflow location.

If so, then you want to use the "move media" command first to move the
volumes from a mountablenotinlib state to a mountable state.  Then you
can
check them in with the checkin command.

Here is the relevant section from the move media command when you want
to
check volumes back into the library:

 MOUNTABLENotinlib
      Specifies that storage pool volumes are to change from the
      MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state back to the MOUNTABLEINLIB state. Volumes
      in the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state may contain valid data and are in
      the overflow location.

           For empty scratch volumes, the MOVE MEDIA command deletes the
           volume records so that they can be used again.

           For private volumes, the MOVE MEDIA command resets the volume
           location to blank, changes the volumes's state to CHECKIN,
           and changes the last update date to the current date.

           For scratch volumes with data, the MOVE MEDIA command resets
           the volume location to blank, changes the volumes's state to
           CHECKIN, and changes the last update date to the current
           date.
      Note:
           Volumes in the CHECKIN state may contain valid data and need
           to be checked into the library.

Returning Volumes from Overflow






I have been experimenting with using the Overflow location; I have been
able to remove the media successfully.  I seem to be having problems
returning the media back into the library.  We are running TSM 5.3.0 on
a Win2K3 platform using an IBM4560 SLX.  I was able to bring the media
back to the library, however it is listed as private and I cannot change
to scratch.  I get the following message when trying to update the
volume "ANR8443E UPDATE LIBVOLUME: Volume LAM004 in library IBM4560
cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH."  The other issue is that I
can't seem to remove the overflow location tag either, so when I am
querying what volumes are out I am getting incorrect responses.



Thank you
