Thanks again Howard!

One more question hopefully :)

If we have 1 reclamation process active is there a way to start up more
WHILE it is currently active.

I know about

>>> upd stg LTOPOOL migprocess=xx

I tried, that updates the reclaim processes but it doesn't add on more
Reclamation processes While it is currently active.
at least it didn't work for me.

Thanks

The Audit is the simplest and quickest way to verify inventory (if you
use the "checklabel=barcode" option)

Thanks Howard and Kelly!.

Before I try the Audit Library is there any other option that I could
try?
Are there any command (s) to specifically check the label of volume
100562 and if it is incorrect then correct that tape with a command?

Thanks again I appreciate your responses!

Thanks Kelly,
Not sure about anyone else's Outlook client but mine thoroughly hosed
up those three commands to look like:

"audit library libname checklabel=barcode checkin libvol libname
search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch checkin libvol libname
search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private"

So here they are spread out:

audit library libname checklabel=barcode

checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch

checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private

Howard is right on.  I'd add a couple more commands to his audit to
"synchronize" the library completely:

Tsm> audit library libname checklabel=barcode checkin libvol libname
Tsm> search=yes checklabel=barcode
status=scratch
Tsm> checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode
status=private

These three command will ensure that your library inventory is




accurate




and that all tapes in the library are checked in properly.  The


audit


library command will check tapes out that are not found.  For




instance,




if TSM thinks that tape 100087 is in the library, but the audit
determines that it isn't, it will be removed from the TSM library
inventory.  However, if the audit finds tape 100088 that TSM doesn't
think is in the library, it won't automatically check it in.  The


two


checkin libvol commands fix that up as well.  Note the order: you


want


to do the scratch tapes first.

Stop all processes, unmount all tapes and audit the library.

It looks like TSM thinks tape 100562 is in the slot currently


occupied


by 100617 instead.

Either the paths are wrong for the drives, (which I doubt) or the
library's inventory is a little off.

To verify, do a q libv, determine which slot TSM "thinks" the tape


is


in, and then open up your library and see if they match.  You may


have


to actually take the tape out, and then back in again.

I would try the audit first, then check TSM's list-o-tapes.  IF the
tape your needing doesn't show up there may be other problems.  Such
as




tape




stuck in picker, not in library at all (mistakenly sent offsite),


etc.

Hello all,

I'm reaching at for any help on this.

<>We have a tape that needs to be reclaimed but it keeps being set




to




"unavailable" during reclamation.


When I  update the tape by doing the following using the GUI

ANR2017I Administrator xxxxx issued command: UPDATE

                     VOLUME 100562 ACCESS=READWRITE
WHERESTGPOOL=LTOPOOL

                     WHEREDEVCLASS=LTOCLASS  (SESSION: 138535)

<>

It changes back to available, however as soon as reclamation calls




for




the tape it changes back to "unavailable"  The TSM Server log with
messages are below can anyone give me suggestions/help on the best




way




to correct the issue?

Thanks for any help in advance!
