There are logs in ACSLS that your friendly STK folks should show you;  also,
there is a two-inch thick book User Guide, that has many things of interest.
If you audit the library (using the ACSLS console) it may take a very long
time, but it's worth it to ensure things are in sync... if that's what you
suspect.

When you replaced the robot's "hand" did you shutdown TSM, and stop ACSLS
(and the acs_ssi daemon that runs in the TSM server)?!?  You might need to
clear the locks, if the ACS audit fails to resolve the issue.

When you do the ACSLS audit, you should prevent TSM from interacting with
the ACSLS server;  upon completion, restart the acs_ssi, typically using
rc.acs_ssi (to re-establish communication between TSM and ACSLS).

If the preceding steps fail to clear this problem, get instructions to
access the ACSLS console, login as ACSSA, and run "cmd_proc" to enter the
console mode interface, and clear the locks (ensure TSM is down during this
process)...
- q lock vol all
- set lock <lock-id-listed-above>
- unlock vol all
- repeat the sequence until all volume locks are cleared
- (Note: this simplified sequence assumes a single ACSLS, library and TSM
server!!)

After restart of the TSM, initialization should complete, and "audit libr"
should be run, to totally sync up TSM inventory with ACSLS.  You might also
want to review all the tapes known to ACSLS ("q vol all") and probably run
checkin for the vol-range of tapes not yet checked in to TSM, but known to
ACSLS.

Good luck!

Hello All!!

I need some assistence please.  :-)
Currently we have TSM running on AIX, connected to ACSLS to Wolfcreek
library.  This afternoon, a tape got stuck in the hand of the silo, and the
hand was replace.  However, now when I try to run an audit of the library
within TSM, I am receving tht following error mesage:

10/29/2002 17:21:54      ANR8855E ACSAPI(acs_lock_volume) response with
                          unsuccessful status, status=STATUS_LOCK_FAILED.
10/29/2002 17:21:55      ANR8460E AUDIT LIBRARY process for library ACSLIB
failed.
10/29/2002 17:21:55      ANR0985I Process 2 for AUDIT LIBRARY running in the
                          BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE
at
                          17:21:55.

Is anyone familiar with this?  Please respond.  :-)
Thanks.
