My quick and dirty approach to the tape checkin issue --
1) mark all tapes in the old library (back home) as 'unavailable'. I do this
by storage pool - "upd vol * acce=unav wherestg=aix-cart" (I have 10 storage
pools I do this for).
2) mark all off-site tapes as read-only. "upd vol * acce=reado whereacce=of"
We currently run a 'manual' library at D/R, so this is all that is required.
If you have a true automated library, follow up with a 'checkin libv
<library> search=yes stat=pri checklabel=barcode". And then, after the
assorted restores are going, worry about setting up scratch tapes, admin
schedules, and such like (I tend to blow away all schedules as soon as I get
ADSM up, and then add them back in when I'm ready for them).
