Funny you should mention audit.

Why would I do an audit on a server that is a "library client"?  I don't
think that is possible.

I tried to do an audit on the now library manager/6.1.4.3 server - both
"checklabel=barcode" and just a simple "audit library".  After running for
>1-hour (and hanging up all pending tape mounts), I killed it.

Have you done an audit library on the 6.2 server? It almost sounds like
it has a different view of your scratch tapes than the LM does.

Servers are RH Linux 6.2.2.2 and 6.1.4.3


Last week, we had some strange issues (don't ask - this one is for
Shark
Tank) with one of our 6.2.2.2 TSM servers, which is one of 2-Library
Managers for our 3494ATL.

So, in the interim we quickly moved the LM function to my 6.1.4.3
server,
shuffled all tape drives, paths and tapes, updated all server
devclasses,
etc.

Now, the 6.2 server that was the LM refuses to perform a DB backup to
the
6.1 LM server. Other tape processing (migrate, backup stgpool) seems
to
work just fine.

The error I get is:

7/6/2011 11:09:15 AM ANR8448E Scratch volume insert-volume-name-here
from
library IBM-TS1130 rejected - volume name is already in use.

which it repeats for 19-iterations and then fails with:

7/6/2011 11:24:00 AM ANR2971E Database backup/restore/rollforward
terminated - DB2 sqlcode -2025 error.

All the tapes it is given are scratch.

It proceeds to lock down all the tapes as if they were in use/private
and
I have to manually perform "delete volhist .. force=yes" on the 6.1 LM
server.

I have done a few Google searches and all I find are references to the
book on the ANR2971E error messages telling me to give it a scratch
tape.

Any thoughts?
