Subject: [ADSM-L] Checking in new tapes on new TSM tape library

I am trying to check in a new LTO3 tape in our new IBM 3582 TSM tape
library that was installed a month ago.



However it keeps failing. I would like to know if I am doing it
correctly before logging a fault call with IBM.

I am placing the new tape with the barcode label on it, in the IO slot
on the right side of the unit.



The command I execute is:



tsm: ANLTSM>label libvol lb1.1.0.3 818ACFL2 checkin=scratch

ANS8003I Process number 593 started.



tsm: ANLTSM>q pr

of library LB1.1.0.3 within 60 minutes; issue 'REPLY' along with the
request ID when

ready.



The error that appears in the log when it fails is:
