Re: tape mount problem

Steve,I could fix the problem and what you said is right.

Lesson what I learned is ..whenever you unload tape from tapedrive do
not place in some empty slot in library. Close the doors and Place it in
the  drawer and checkin as private tape(check label=yes) then it keeps
originally where it was.
I could restore database successfully.

Than You.

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.
