What do you mean, "they are in the inport".  The 3494 should put the tapes
away with a category of FF00 and then you just check them in.  You should be
able to do a mtlib command to see their status.

I believe you are getting confused with the J on the tape.  That is not part
of the serial number.  That is the tape type.  The serial number should be
the next 6 digits.

i cant quite seem to get this to work....

im using a 3494 automated library with the following commands:

checkin libv 3494 j00544 status=private owner=sy00055 devtype=3590...... but
that just waits for it in the inport (messages to insert in actlog)

so i try to search...

checkin libv 3494 search=yes status=private devtype=3590
volrange=j00544,j00544... it returns immediately saying "0 found"

we're running tsm 4.2 on aix 4.3.3. we run a daily move drmedia but in this
case 3 tapes did not get ejected because they were mounted. however, the
move drmedia command made changes to make it look like they are no longer in
the database. short of actually opening up the library and removing them
(its a BIG library) how can we either "reintroduce" the tapes and then eject
them or just eject them?
