Just a thought: Has somebody been loading tapes into the library not
using TSM checkin? (Maybe using the library front panel controls or
tapeutil).

Run an 'audit library "3583" checkl=barcode' to update library inventory
in TSM and a 'checkin libv "3853" search=yes checkl=barcode stat=pri'.

Let us know if the problem presists after the two commands have run
successful.

Thanks

Subject: [ADSM-L] Preventing TSM from using a certain library port

Hello,

our IBM 3583 library seems to have a problem using a certain port.
Sometimes we get a "slot obstructed" error message because the library
tries to put a tape into a slot which is already filled with another
tape. Looking into the librarys slot information reveals that it assumes
this slot is empty! First I thought the cause would be the tape itself /
its barcode. But after removing this tape from the lib, the "slot
obstructed" problem still occurres with the same slot but a different
tape.
Whatever the cause is, is there a way to tell TSM _not_ to use this
slot, even if its empty? Is my assumption right that TSM and not the lib
decides where to put a tape when checking it in or removing it from a
tapedrive? But when does TSM get the information about which slots are
present in a library? During an "audit library"?

Thanks in advance,
Stephan
