Dear all,
yes, it looks like a scsi lock.
I've been waiting a bit longer and suddenly the drive switched it's
state and i could run an audit ?!
so "wait and see" seems to be the solution.
thansk & best regards,
Bjørn

"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
