Subject:  Home Elements in a Magstar Library


I have a 3575 - L32 Magstar Library with 4 tape drives, and space
reclaimiation is looking for a tape that is in there (I can physically see
the tape in the slot) with a home element of 174. How are the columns
numbered in the library. I have 6 columns of tapes in my library the lowest
hole element that I see is 32 and the highest is 355. I would like to
verify
that the tape is where it should be. Also I had a cleaning tape in there
taking up a slot but it didn't show up in my "q libv" command.

TIA
