How do I handle all these tapes coming back from the vault

[mricca]

We had problems with our library and now I am getting all these errors. When I check these in, do I need to use a specific command?

move drmedia {vol_num} fromstate=vaultr tostate=onsiter (help move drmedia for details)



This should tell TSM that it has come back from the vault and to make it scratch again.

you can be lazy and just run



move drmedia * wherestate=vaultr tostate=onsiter



(sorry that assumes that all the vaultret tapes are on site)

(q drmedia * wherestate=vaultret )





then you should be able to check them in via "checkin libvol" blah blah

there's a cmdfile option too, but I notice on some libraries like my STK silos,

it forces you to enter each freaking tape at a time. So I just put all them into the

silo and then run a check libvol with the vollist=FILE:<somefilename> parameter.





sorry low on sleep also....zzzZZZZ

Do you have access to "query drm" and "move drm" if you don't license the DRM module?
