Sometimes the operators leave stuff laying around and I have to figure out
why. In the most current case I found 2 cleaning cartridges, one in the 3494
door that must have been ejected and another on a cart next to the 3494. I
knew from watching the library that there would be a cleaning cartridge
running out of cycles today. That is probably the one I just found in the
door, but what about the one on the cart?

Now that I have to insert a new cartridge I was wondering if the library
manager knows if these two other cartridges are used up if I end up sticking
one back in that may have just came out. Does the library manager keep track
of the barcode numbers on these in case someone happens to do this? Will the
library manager even take the cartridge if it is used  up? I found a
cartridge and want to stick it in but don't know if it is new or not.

Does this show the total of all cleaning cartridges or just one at a time?

By the way, I posted a question yesterday but did not get any hits back on
it so I wonder if it even went through. Here it is again in case it did not.

A while back I set up a disk pool to keep all directory information readily
available in case of a restore. The disk pool is set up to cache files but
still migrate to keep a copy on tape. This morning I found the number of
files on tape is much much more than the files on disk for all nodes. In
some instances a node may not have any files on disk but does on tape.

I'm not sure if my settings are incorrect or if there is another problem.
Does anyone have a similar setup where they cache files on a disk pool but
still send them to tape as backup? Can you verify that the number of files
match?

Is there a way for me to copy those files on tape to the disk pool so they
match?

As always,
Thanks for the help.
