Hi Michelle
First of all, the problem doesnt sound like one where an audit library
would solve the problem. Have you checked the drive for errors, or if
there are a tape stuck in the drive?
What kind of library are you running TSM against?
The audit library with checklabel=yes will take quite a long time,
depending on how many volumes you have in your library.
An audit library checklabel=barcode will take a lot less time.
Some processes will be halted, as the audit process will use tape drives
in your library(which means other processes doesnt have access to theese
tape drives).
Have your received any sense codes through TSM?
Best Regards

Subject: audit library
Hi all,
one of my drives in the library continues to produce errors and is taken
offline by tsm.
01/24/03 11:00:45 ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt1, error
number=46.
01/24/03 11:00:51 ANR8792E Unrecoverable drive failures on drive RMT1
(/dev/rmt1); drive is now taken offline.
errno 46 is defined within aix as being a device not ready error.
now I've tried to delete and redefine the unit on both platforms, but no
success.
the server no comes with an advice to audit the library, since I have no
clues anymore I'm willing to try this, but have never done it before. The
manuals speak of it as being quite time consuming but nowhere it says
approx. how long and if I can in some way reduce the time.
The manuals also state that some processes will be halted for as long as
the
audit is running, but again nowhere it states which ones or maybe all
processes.
does anyone have a clue??
thanx a lot,
michelle (again *sigh*)
