Hello,

I have a question about nearline volumes.

We eject all our full tapes from library and also remove them from CAP. So the 
tapes are not there physicaly. We have a script which is updating locations, 
but first it finds out whether or not we have tape in a library (via -q near). 
If the tape is in library, but the location differs, it prints out an error 
message. 

The problem is we are still getting these error messages, because  when i run 
"mminfo -q near -xc, -r volume " I still have these volumes on the list even if 
they are not physicaluy in the library... Our offsite storage guys confirmed, 
that tapes arrived and are there. So its no way we can have them in library.

Any ideas why is this? How is it possible? And how can I convince our library 
to show only the tapes that are really there? how mminfo determines whether the 
tape is in library or not?
