Robert,
There are several conditions under which TSM can change a tape status to
private in the library inventory without it actually being in use. All
of these situations are related to some kind of error that would have
been documented in the activity log. However, if happened a long time
ago you may not have the records in the activity log. I have run into
this with customers on several occasion so I have to very simple scripts
that I give them.
The first one I call "stranded" it checks for any tapes in the library
that are in private state but not in use. Here is the script:
select volume_name from libvolumes -
where status='Private' and -
libvolumes.volume_name not in -
(select volume_name from volumes ) and -
libvolumes.volume_name not in -
(select volume_name from volhistory where type in -
('BACKUPFULL','BACKUPINCR','DBSNAPSHOT','EXPORT','BACKUPSET'))
The second one I call "inuse" it will list what a volume is used for,
please not you must pass to it the volume name.
Q vol $1
select volume_name,type from volhistory where volume_name=upper('$1')
and type in -
('BACKUPFULL','BACKUPINCR','DBSNAPSHOT','EXPORT','BACKUPSET')
I hope these will help.

still got in my old library 2 / 3 cartridges belongs to nowhere!!!
When doing query’s like:
Q libv scalar
SCALAR 000054 Private Data
4,101
SCALAR 000129 Private Data
4,216
Q vol 000054
ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria.
select * from volumes where volume_name='000054'
ANR2034E SELECT: No match found using this criteria.
I double check if maybe a DBackup or DBsnapshot is …. Not at all
What can I do for more investigation to see what on the 000054 cartridge and to
