Yes, looks like the element addresses are ok. The TS3500 library itself
has an inventory option which can be run from the operator panel. This
scanned all of the tapes etc. That looked ok. It all looks consistent,
but it's just the CHECKIN causing me the problem

I don't have knowledge of the TS3500's but do have logical library
partitioning, have you tried comparing the element addresses as shown in
a 'q libvol' to the web interface ones, you said you performed an
'inventory' is this in the form of an 'audit libr command at TSM level'
which should eliminate consistencies between the library hardware & the
TSM inventory?

Just a thought, might be worth checking what the library thinks is where
from the hardware side, vs TSM's view of it all...

HTH.

Hi

 

TSM Server v5.4.0.0

TS3500 tape library, SCSI attached

LTO3 tapes

 

Hi

 

I have a problem running the CHECKIN command.

 

My TS3500 tape library has approx 700 slots across two frames. A number
of tapes have been returned because at last i have managed to get
approval to expire data more aggressively than previously.

 

So, i load in approx 120 tapes into the entry port and i can see all of
the tapes are loaded into slots in the library. Frame A is full and
Frame B is now being used. From the library display, i can see all of
those tapes in IMPORT status. 

 

>From the library web display, my TSM logical library has  a max carts
value of 400 of which 229 are used.

 

When i run 'CHECKIN LIBVOL lib-name SEARCH=YES STATUS=SCRATCH CHECKL=B'
i got 36 tapes loaded and then received the following message:

 

ANR8382W Library CO3500 is now full

 

Subsequent CHECKIN commands simply show the ANR8382W message above. 

 

I know the tapes are in there and the library display shows them. I have
performed a library inventory (from the TS3500) but this has had no
effect.

 

A 'Q LIBR libr F=D' command does'nt show anything that indicated a limit
on the number of tapes it can have in the library.

 

Any thoughts appreciated

 

Jeff White
