Hi everyone,
Here's an interesting little piece of activity log from one of my remote
TSM servers.... Gotta like TapeAlert. Other than being an amusing way to
start my day, everything checks out OK and I can't believe it.
1. The 6AM job is a copy stgpool operation.
2. Despite the TapeAlert warnings, there were no stuck tapes.
3. L20014 wasn't "snapped" when visually inspected.
4. The library wouldn't mount tapes even though no drives were being used.
5. Stopped TSM, rebooted the library, started TSM and all was well again.
6. Audited each volume reported below without a single failure.
TSM Server: 5.2.4.1
OS AIX 5.2
Library 3583 with 3 LTO2 drives (SCSI)
I don't really have a question, just thought it was odd and someone might
have insight.
