unavailable volumes

[maheshl_1982]

Hi Gurus,

I have a problem with unavailable volumes. My TSM operational
reporting is display following error.

The number of unavailable volumes is too high4 > 2Issue: q libvol f=d at a TSM command prompt for details.


I have checked issuing q libvol f=d command was unable to find any volume with status unavailable. Please help me to check and resolve this issue.

You see that in "q vol f=d" not "q libvol".

Fastest way is this:
select * from volumes where access='UNAVAILABLE'

use this
q vol access=unavailable for unavalable volumes
once u get the volume names - you can check it with q libv libv_name volume_name. from experience unavalable volumes issues are issues with the tape library inventory and TSM inventory. note: TSM library inventory is the correct one as it contains element info. - depends on what tape library u use -i use 3584/TS3500 and setup a web specialist. and I can search the volumes here - making sure i note down the element number and then i cross reference it with TSM (q libv library_name volume_name).
once i see an inconsitent i normally run both inventory on Tape library and TSM - normally TSM audit command (h audit library) is sufficient.
