Yes, that is not surprising.

Whenever you move a tape or place it in a slot yourself, you should run
a TSM AUDIT LIBRARY command.
That tells TSM to rescan the library and update the info about which
tape is in each slot.

Run the AUDIT LIBRARY from the admin command line, or from the web GUI.

The syntax may be slightly different depending on the type of library
your have.
(When posting info to this list, PLEASE INCLUDE your TSM server
platform, version #, and type of tape library.  You'll get better
answers that way!)

AUDIT LIBRARY libname CHECKLABEL=BARCODE

The AUDIT LIBRARY will not run if there are other tape operations in
progress (like migration or reclaim).

Subject: tape mount problem


Hi,
While I am trying to restore database, tape stuck in the tape drive and
later  I unloaded tape  and kept in some slot in the library. Now when I
am trying to restore its updating tape to unavailable and restore fails.
I am thinking TSM  lost address of tape after I placed tape manually in
the slot.

Is there any way I can find tape original slot in the library. Can some
help how I am going to fix this problem.


thanks
muthyam
