After sending my original message I saw this saved email from the past. 
Operations assures me they opened and closed doors for me but the audit still 
finishes in less than a second and still nothing shows in tsm.

Os level mtlib has no issues and to respond to another of Richards 
recommendations the os and tsm levels have not changed only the hardware. Have 
not checked error logs yet but can tell you the automated checkout late 
yesterday did remove the proper tapes to the door. Since then everything has 
turned sour.

In another email someone asked if I had checked in tapes. I did not think I 
needed to do that but with a 3584 how with all tapes in slots would command 
look like. 
Sorry for shortness, blackberries are not my choice for typing.

Geoff --

Audit Library on a 3584 does NOT scan the tape barcodes -- it gets the
library manager catalog that was created the last time the library
initialized, with current updates from tape movement. If you want a
re-scan you will need to re-initialize the library (pause it, then open
and close a door).

Subject: tape loss need help

Today I moved my TSM server to a new server. Everything seemed to go
well, restored DB, brought back all drives and library, audit library
and my script showed tapes were available as scratch. Tonight after
things have kicked off I got a message no scratch tapes were available
to mount when this afternoon there were 85 after I got the system back
online. q libvol returns nothing private or scratch but q vol shows
tapes. Tonight I tan the 3584 audit library but was way to quick if you
ask me. I had decided to run it again and it looks like the devcnfg is
empty of tapes whereas the one earlier showed everything.

 

Now that nothing seems to be in the library according to TSM I'm at a
loss as to how to get things back when the audit library seemed to work,
but actually didn't. That think obviously isn't looking at barcodes or
it would have found everything in the library if it was truly scanning.
I'm pretty much dead in the water until I can get this fixed and would
sure appreciate some insight if anyone has a suggestion.
