Hi all,

I'm encountering problems by our client with checked in volumes. Could
someone suggest me some actions in this case? Or did someone see similar
case before? Many thanks.

Case: q libvol gives list of volumes in library. some of them can be used
for backup but some of them no. I identified those volumes and tried to
check them out but tsm didn't take them out of the library. So I turned
library off, took out volumes, turned on library, audited library and
through the mailslot I checked volumes in (checkin libvol dell136t
stat=scratch checkl=barcode search=bulk). Now, if I'm trying to make for
example backup of tsm db (backup db dev=sdltdrive vol=<volname> type=full
scratch=yes), tsm fails with error message (Mount request denied for
volume <volname> - volume not available.)

TSM5.2 on RH Linux with DELL136T library.
