This is normal operation.  I have tapes out of the library too and operators
have to watch and check tapes back in library as needed.

When a tape reclamation starts for tape 000025, the volume is mounted into
the drive, but ADSM also requests the mounting of tape 000020 which is not
in the library (manually marked unavailable).  It is extremely difficult to
reclaim tapes without knowing what tapes are associated to each other.  I
think this is happening when a file is written across tapes.  Is there a
easy way to know what tapes are needed to reclaim one tape?  I would prefer
if there was not a spanning/association across tapes so that when tape
000025 was reclaimable, it could be reclaimed without requiring tape 000020.
A lot of tapes do not get reclaimed because of this.  Does everyone have
this problem or is it something peculiar to me.  I run  ADSM Server for
Windows NT Version 3 Release 1 Level 2.30 on NT 4.0 SP4.   Here is the
activity log:
I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you
