Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is an externally managed library and
I
do not check the tapes into TSM.  They are all managed by a pool within
the library and that pool is defined to the Gresham EDT software which
sits between TSM & ACSLS/SL8500 library.  : )

Try auditing the library with the following three commands:

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

These three commands will rationalize the library inventory and check in
any volumes that aren't already checked it (which seems to be your
problem).

All of that said, I'm not familiar with Gresham so don't know if there
are any gotchas.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I have a TSM server 5.3.5.2 on AIX 5.3 with an external library which is
a
SUN SL8500 and Gresham EDT manages the drive requests.  I have come
across
an issue where the tape is physically in the library, but TSM says that
it
is not present.  Any ideas/suggestions on what can be done?  Thanks in
advance!
