Hi Björn,
after an error at one of our libraries (Quantum i6000, robotics
> became offline, we did a reboot instead of driving to the remote
> location to re-enable it) the library manager still shows one tape
> in a drive beeing "IN USE".
but neither the library client who should own this tape / drive at the
> momten nor the library itself reports the same:
for the libclient the tape is not mounted
for the library the drive is empty
I tried to do an library audit, this fails immediatly
then i restartet first the library manager instance later the whole
> physical server, the libmanager stiil reports the drive "IN USE" with

starting a library audit then, took much longer, I canceled this

"dismount vol" does not work either
sounds like a stuck SCSI reservation on the drive.
Who's the "owner" of the drive right now? (run a "select
drive_name,drive_state,allocated_to from drives" on the library
manager). If it's the library client, restart the physical machine the
library client runs on. If that doesn't help, try the "Remove IT Nexus"
in the i6k => Tools => Drives. I've never run that command, but an FE
suggested that as a possible solution some time ago, so, use at your own
risk ;)
a little bit off-topic: an IBM 3584 can do an internal inventory run,
does anyone know something similar for the i6k?
Mhh, if it's not configured during power on (i6k => Setup => Physical
Library => Automatic Inventory), i6k => Operations => Inventory should
do the trick? Whole library has to be offline.
Regards,
Sven
