8 Characters in TSM
2006-05-21 15:21:32
I have a stranger behavior in my TSM Server ( at least to me).
TSM Server 5.3.3 on AIX 5.3, tape library 3584 with LTO3 drives.
library on AIX, it shows "tsm_barcode_len 6"
root# lsattr -El smc0
alt_pathing no Enable Alternate Pathing
Support True
debug_trace no Debug Trace Logging
Enabled True
dev_status
N/A False
devtype 03584L32 Device

retain_reserve no Retain

scsi_id 0x30000 SCSI Target

*tsm_barcode_len 6* TSM Barcode Length for Ultrium
1/Ultrium 2 Media True
ww_name 0x500507630f4c6d01 World Wide Port
Name False
Library definition on TSM Server as:
DEFINE LIBRARY 3584 LIBTYPE=SCSI SHARED=YES AUTOLABEL=NO RESETDRIVE=YES
On TSM Server, we have old LTO1 tapes as as below although from Specialist
we see "L1" at the end of it:
A00001
A00002
...........
Yesterday when I used the command to checkin new LTO3 tapes with the
command:
LABEL libv 3584_LIB search=bulk checkin=scratch labels=barcode
The new tapes were labeled as:
B00001L3
B00002L3
..............
How could this happen?
If those LTO1 tapes get expired and reclaimed, will it become 8 character or
still keeps 6 character?
Thanks in advance.
