We have tapes checked out of our library on a daily basis usually copy pool tapes to be taken off site. Today 6 tapes came out and I wanted to double check where they needed to go and ran the following command:
select * from volhistory where volume_name='xxx'
For 3 of the tapes they were marked vault status so they go off site. The other three were listed as just STGNEW which if I understand correctly means they are basically new tapes and can be checked in as scratch.
We have a simple script called checkin_scratch for that function so I put the tapes in the library and ran the script that runs this command:
checkin libvolume loglib02 search=bulk checklabel=barcode status=scratch waittime=0.
In the activity log it says 0 volumes found so I'm concerned about my robotic arm as well.
Is there a better way to find out what is on these tapes? Am I misunderstanding what STGNEW can mean?
Thanks,
