So I've had some issues with my tape library and got them sorted. One problem was that I had to rebuild the library now of course I had tapes in there at the time and q libvol shows nothing now.
I see from https://adsm.org/forum/index.php?th...ary-drives-q-libvol-showing-no-volumes.28339/
You are to run a couple of commands
CHECKIN LIBVOL <library> SEARCH=Y STATUS=SCR CHECKL=BARC
CHECKIN LIBVOL <library> SEARCH=Y STATUS=PRIV CHECKL=BARC
My question is, if I do this, what does it reference to decide what barcodes are scratch and what barcodes are private.
I'm being told from someone who's knowledge I don't trust, that if I run that command it will turn every tape in my library to scratch tapes because there's currently nothing listed by doing q libvol.
So is that the case?
