Do a "q libvol" and that should show where TSM thinks that tape is.

Also could probably do "q actlog" for time period when you tried
restore
and messages probably will indicate where TSM is trying to get tape
from.

Thanks for your quick response.

Is there any way we can find original place where it was. Yes I know
auditing going to fix all these problems but its time consuming.

Karl, When I use 'q libvol' it does not element address and also in
volhsit file.

When I used robot backside panel to check volume location..it show
nothing.
Tape is in the library.

thanks again.

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).

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
