Muthy,

When you moved the tape in the library, did you do it manually or by the
library's control panel or web interface?  For a 3494, TSM audit only asks
the library for a download of its own information. So, if the library
doesn't know, TSM can't know.

You may have to physically remove the tape from the library and then run a
TSM checkin process.

Regards

Steve

Just before I finished auditing proses in the library to fix missing
tape  slot problem. Before audit proses I could see that tape when I
list tapes by 'q libvol'. After auditing library I could not find tape
in the library list (q libvol) but it is there in the library. Even when
I tried  "checkout libv libname volser rem=no checkl=no" says tape does
not exists in the library. I don't no what went wrong.
I used  'audit libr 3494lib1 checklabel=yes"

Please provide some inputs to move this forwd.

Thanks

Do a checkout libv libname volser rem=no checkl=no.

This will checkout the tape and it will no longer be in the q libv
output.

After that, do a checkin libv libname search=yes checkin=priv
checkl=barcode vollist=volser.

That should bring back your tape. I am not sure of the syntax of the
checkin command, it is always a pain to figure out what options fit
with
one another. I don't have a TSM server handy right now but this should
work.

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
