Hi,
I have a special sitation herewhere I define the library and library path to
the TSM server. I also have the lto4 drives defined to the TSM server, but
then I have the drive paths defined to my 3 NAS datamovers. I have a similar
set up for my lto2 drives in a different type of library, so I pretty much just
did the same set up, but tried to do this with a scsi library (Quantum i6000)
and this is where I am right now.
The OS of the TSM server is AIX and the TSM version is 5.5.5.0.
I have 12 LTO4 tape drives defined:

As you can see they aren't showing the drive state yet, but I'm not sure if
that's normal or not as they haven't been used yet.

I'm not sure how I'd use the drive mapping utility since they aren't attached
to my TSM server... or is that still possible?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I've never used a scsi library before so
this is all new to me. I'm a little confused as we had more drives added to
this configuration, but it's only showing 5. Maybe I need to recycle the TSM
application to make it recognize the changes?
Thanks again for any suggestions/help!

Joni,
It doesn't look like your drives/paths are defined correctly. The library is
trying to move the volume from a slot 4096 to slot-element 65535.
In my experience, when I see slot element 65535, it usually points to either
the drives, paths to drives not being defined correctly.
A couple of questions:
1) what's the OS?
2) what do your drives / paths to drives look like
3) what does the output of a show slot look like, at least for the drives
4) have you tried the IBM tape diagnostic tool to identify the correct
element numbers for your drives / mt mapping?

It seems like it doesn't want to move the volume to a drive to label it, but
I'm having issues trying to figure out what that error message means from
Appendix C.
How do I tell where those slot elements are? It appears as if something is
still not working correctly, but I'm trying to figure out if this is a set up
issue? Or if it's something else entirely.
I defined a scsi library as follows for my nas partition which the drives are
zoned from the library to the datamovers and I have the library & path and
drives & paths defined within TSM:

How did tape Q00000 get into the library? Did you manually load a batch of
tapes in this library without checking them in thru the bulk I/O?
If that is the case, you can just checkin the tapes.
You can try:
Check in volumes that are already labeled:
checkin libvolume NAS_QI6000 search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to label a volume in a scsi library and I used the label libvol
command to try and label Q00000 in the library NAS_QI6000 and it is failing.
The tape is already physically in a slot in the library, so could someone
please explain how I am to label tapes within this library on TSM?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
