David, If the library had a problem reading the barcode of a tape, it (TSM) will
mount the tape and read the label. Since most TSM operations read the label
after mounting a tape, other than AUDIT, I allow tapes with "bad" barcodes but
good labels to remain in the inventory.

Subject: Re: audit library STILL unsuccessful!
The message when you used "checklabel=barcode" about "unabel to read label,
Loading in drive..". With checklabel=barcode it does not actually read labels,
just reads libraries internal memory on it's inventory. It is actually
adjusting *SM's inventory to match the libraries. If you physically look
through window of your library you will see that there are no tapes in those
slots.
If you after runing this and see these messges, then immediately run audit
again there should be no messages - if so then there is some kind of problem.
Regular audits prevent/correct inconsistencies in inventories. I always run one
when I or someone else has been in library.
Also run when there are no tapes mounted or it could take a very lonng time,
even with checklabel=barcode.

So... I decided to check out the volumes WITHOUT checking the Label:

ANR0984I Process 315 for CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at

ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: REPL 83

ANR8438I CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME for volume 000378 in library TEKWOLF completed
successfully.
ANR0985I Process 315 for CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND

This was SUCCESSFUL!!!
Now I re-ran the Audit Library Tekwolf checklabel=barcode and received an

Hi All-
I am unable to successfully Audit our StorageTek Library. (Audit Library
libraryname)
The Audit gets to about 3/4 done when I receive an I/O Error:
03/27/01 10:08:07 ANR8300E I/O error on library TEKWOLF (OP=00006C03,
CC=301, KEY=05, ASC=30, ASCQ=00,

.00.0C.00.00.00.00.30.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.,
Description-
=Cartridge load failure). Refer to Appendix B in
the
'Messages' manual for recommended action.
and here is the errpt on the AIX TSM server.
5680E405 0327100801 P H lb0 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM FAILURE
5680E405 0327100801 P H lb0 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM FAILURE
I am at AIX 4.3.3, TSM 3.7.4
StorageTek 9740 with 4 Drives 9840
It always stops on a different tape. I have exported several tapes and
retried the audit several times. Always same result.
I had the StorageTek Service come in and check the library, and it checked
out ok.
I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden all of the tapes in the
library are bad!
Has anyone experienced this?
Any recommended next steps???
