Hello,

I use TSM 5.1 on AIX4.3.3 with a 3494 with four 3590E drives.
There's a strange behaviour when using the label libvol command.
The command is used like this:

label libvol 3494lib search=yes checkin=scratch devt=3590
volrange=031000,031001

The command returns successfully, but nothing happens.
I know that this happens, when no tapes within this volrange exist,
but I
can see them in the database of the 3494.

If I use the command

label libvol 031001 checkin=scratch devt=3590

it works, but I don't want to do this for 500 tapes.

Is it a TSM bug?

i think i noticed just recently that volrange does not work for just two
tapes, you must use vollist in that case. Could it have bene that you
had no tape-drives available at that time, te reason label libvol quits
is in the actlog....
