okay, i do that exact command:
adsm> label libvol ITG-3575 search=bulk labelsource=barcode
checkin=scratch
and it starts to read all the labels in my library, but then it comes up
with the error:
ANR8314E Library ITG-3575 is full.
ANR8841I Remove volume from slot 30 of library ITG-3575 at your
convenience.
ANR8802E LABEL LIBVOLUME process 87 for library failed.
ANR0985I Process 87 for LABEL LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND
completed
with completion state FAILURE at 15:28:48.
how can the library be full, i just removed 4 tapes from it yesterday! it
could be that the tapes were not properly removed, so the server "thinks"
it's full, even when it isn't.
so how do i get the server to read the tapes, and verify which ones are in
the library, and which ones arn't.
keep in mind that i have data on all these tapes, and i can't lose it!
thanks much for the help!
