All, Does anyone know of a way to have a list of all tape volumes known to the server? I mean not only the tape volumes in the library , but also the ones stored offsite, on the scratch rack,... The

Can't do it with a single command. TSM's volume management is spread across several tables. Try these: q vol f=d q libvol <libname> f=d q media f=d q drmedia f=d (if you are using DRM) q volhist f=d

Robin, thanks, this is what I was afraid of... and yes I would like to see that Perl script. Also if anyone has some other way of finding this info? ( select statement ?) Stan Robin Sharpe <Robin_Sha

Hi again Matthew ;) The thing is that i'm not interested in the Storage pool volumes or volumes in the library,... I want to know ALL volumes. Also the DB backups, the scratch tapes in the desk of th

volumes to Stan, Unfortunately, you've uncovered one the, ummmm, "clumsy" parts of TSM. The way TSM manages scratch tapes, that is, tapes that are now empty and ready to be re-used, is to not manage
Francisco - This TSM server command should show all your storage pool volumes. See the output samples in the Admin Ref manual. Presuming that you have some storage pools, did you invoke it from an o

I agree with the other comments mode so far on this, you can't keep track of ALL volumes. There is one thing you can do to help some though. Instead of having just a batch of SCRATCH volumes, you can

Simmilar to "Query Volume"? The sample output someone sent to the list seemed like it only gives info for a library. I usually use "q stgpool" to see my pools and "q vol" to see my volumes.

David / all, The scheme you describe using predefined storage pool volumes is one we've used for several years. After checking in the scratch tapes, you then Define Volume them to the storage pool. T

Robin, Thanks for you precise answer. now a bit offtopic maybe...regarding your perl script. I've put it in the root of the webserver, but when I point my browser at it, it just displays the contents

This is actually a good way to do things. Your volume use stats in TSM are discarded when a volume is set back to scratch, but if it's defined to a stgpool, you can track its number of usages, number

The easiest way is to put it in a CGI executable directory (in Apache it's a directory with ExecCGI option in the httpd.conf file) and make sure the file has executable permissions set.
