Hi all,
We recently had a tape drive failure because of some broken tape.
After the replacement, the drive comes online in TSM, but it keeps showing that there's a tape volume, even though that one was removed together with the drive:
Library Name: TS3100
Drive Name: DRIVE2
Device Type: LTO
On-Line: Yes
Read Formats: ULTRIUM5C,ULTRIUM5,ULTRIUM4C,ULTRIUM4,ULTRIUM3C,ULTRIUM3
Write Formats: ULTRIUM5C,ULTRIUM5,ULTRIUM4C,ULTRIUM4
Element: 257
Drive State: UNKNOWN
Volume Name: AMA013L5
...
How do I tell TSM that there is in fact no more tape in the drive? I've tried rebooting the tape device itself, and also launched a re-inventory and audit library, but without result. As we're only used to basic operation and troubleshooting, this one is above my level
Thanks in advance!
