Hi Kelly,

The problem is that the tape is missing out in our library and nothing I
do seems to skip this tape in the move media process.  I have tried to use
acc=destroyed then unavailable, then readwrite and just do the move media
command with rem=no checkl=no.  Shouldn't that then put the tape in a
mountablenotinlib state?  I guess I'm confused why it's telling me that no
tape matches that description when in fact it does?  The tape is showing
up as mountableinlib right now and it has state=mountableinlib and
status=filling.  I'm sorry if I'm not getting this...

Thanks again!

I assume you did an audit library...

In fact, I would probably do a synchronize library:

Audit library libname checklabel=barcode
Checkin library libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch
Checkin library libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private

That will find all the volumes in the library and put them in the
correct spot.  Make sure and do the scratch checkin first.

Hi Kelly,

Actually it is appearing as mountableinlibrary, but within the physical
library which is a SUN SL8500 it looks like it's missing:

ACSSA> display volume N00810
2007-09-26 13:38:55              Display Volume
 Vol_id  Acs  Lsm  Panel  Row  Column  Pool   Status    Media     Type
 N00810  0    1    34     8    1       0      missing   LTO-200G  data

I tried to fake out TSM by telling it to move media n00810
stg=tape_ndmp_offsite wherestate=mountableinlib rem=no checkl=no which I
thought would then just change the status to mountablenotinlib, but it
says that there is no match found for this move which is what I don't
understand...

Thanks!

Re: MOVE MEDIA KEEPS FAILING






Is this the famous "mountable, not in library" problem?  If so, try
searching the adsm-l archives for "mountable not in library hell"
written by me.  I detailed the steps required to get beyond the hell of
this...

Subject: [ADSM-L] MOVE MEDIA KEEPS FAILING

Hello everyone,

I am trying to eject all tapes from my SL8500 library by using the move
media function and it keeps failing on tape N00810.  Upon further
inspection it appears as if N00810 is "missing" physically from the
library.

Within TSM it appears as follows:

          Volume Name: N00810
                State: Mountable in library Last Update Date/Time:
09/26/07 10:29:07
             Location:
    Storage Pool Name: TAPE_NDMP_OFFSITE
    Automated LibName: NASLIB
        Volume Status: Filling
               Access: Unavailable
  Last Reference Date: 08/23/07 13:20:16

I had thought that marking it unavailable would prevent it from being
moved and I also tried marking it as destroyed and neither access has
worked.  I also left it as read/write and it failed to move it with that
accessibility as well.

Does anyone know what can be done in order to work around this tape
until it can be found?  I have other tapes to eject/move, but the move
media command keeps failing on that particular tape.  Any help is
appreciated!
Thanks!
