Have you tried using "tapeutil" to do inventory?  I think it just reads barcode 
from internal memory of library.  I have TSM 3.7.4.0 with 3575-L32.  Always use 
audit library 3575lib1 checklabel=barcode as this only takes about 20 seconds.  
Reading tapes would take a looong time.  Do not have problems except rarely - 
occaisional barcode problem with a tape or two, or other onesy twosy problems.

I always examine actlog very carefully for an indication of problem, it 
generally points me in right direction.

I have been at my present job for a year and the audit library command
fails EVERY time when it tries to read the labels. It will read some and
then, I suspect it can't keep up and fails in exactly the manner you noted.
I am on a 3575L32 at 3.7.3.6. I spoke with Tivoli about it and they claimed
I needed to upgrade to a higher code level. Haven't gotten around to doing
it; I just have the library read the barcode labels. It actually reads them
when it initializes and stores the info which is read by TSM when the
command is issued.

Subject:  Library Audit Unsuccessful


I've had this happen in the past but this time is different.

I do NOT receive any errors except the following:

ANR8460E AUDIT LIBRARY process for library TEKWOLF failed.
ANR0985I Process 25 for AUDIT LIBRARY running in the
                       BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE
at
                       10:09:00.

I printed a q libv list and physically compared it to the Library
inventory, and it matches perfect.

If i run a "audit library tekwolf checklabel=barcode"  it completes
successfully.  It's when the audit actually mounts the volumes to check the
labels that it fails.

any ideas?

Thanks,
Marc Levitan
