Not recently. I understand they have done it in the past before I came here.
Of course with around 240 tapes this would take a while. I suspect that if you
had a tape error or similar during the process, it may cause a problem.
We have TSM server 3.7.4.0 on AIX 4.3.3.

David, For grins, have you ever tried an audit library on your 3575 L32 without
specifying the checklabel=barcode option? In other words, allow all tapes to be
mounted and their labels read? I have tried this and can never get though more
than about 20 volume labels read and then the audit fails with no explanation. I
have had a PRM open with Tivoli on this issue for some time and have provided
traces they are analyzing...

Subject: Re: 3570 tape stuck??
I have a 3575 library so - not exactly the same but do the following:
Can you see if tape is physically in library or in a drive?
Do q libvol and see if it shows up.
do q vol 0045E3 f=d and see status.
do q actlog (with some time like begind=-1) sea=0045E3
and see what has been sequence of evnts with this tape.
One of these should get you close.
Generally "storage media inaccessable" means you tried to mount a tape that ADSM
thought was in library but it wasn't. There can be other reasons but this I
have found is a prime one.
an Audit library lib_name checklabel=barcode
will sync *SM with library. (Do this with NO TAPES IN USE) On my 3575-L32 this
takes about 20 seconds.
To checkout a tape that may be damaged use option checklabel=no. A damaged
won't checkout as the mount fails.

- storage media inaccessible.
Can someone explain the "storage media inaccessible" error? It seems TSM
can't mount this tape (TSM 3.7.4.0, AIX4.3.3). When i tried to check it
out to see if the tape was physically damaged:
tsm: TSM>checkout libvol 3570lib 0045E3 remove=yes checklabel=yes
ANR8442E CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME: Volume 0045E3 in library 3570LIB is currently
in use.
ANS8001I Return code 12.
**But i don't see anything using it......
tsm: TSM>q proc
ANR0944E QUERY PROCESS: No active processes found.
ANS8001I Return code 11.
tsm: TSM>q mount *
ANR2034E QUERY MOUNT: No match found using this criteria.
tsm: TSM>q req
ANR8346I QUERY REQUEST: No requests are outstanding.
ANS8001I Return code 11.
Any ideas? I tried an audit library and let it run for almost an hour,
but it didn't seem to be doing anything, so i cancelled it. (there's only
19 tapes...an audit lib shouldn't take that long i wouldn't think).
later!
