Yes, that was the case. I killed all processes and dismount all tapes.
Only after that it started to work. But I remember that in previous
versions audit gave a message to remove tapes from the drives.

Thank you for you help.

You can not run audit lib while any other process or session is using
tapes.  Might that be your problem?

Hi everybody,
I am facing a weird AUDIT command behavior.

I run TSM 5.1.8 server on AIX4.3 and have two ultrium libraries 3583 and
3584 connected to the machine. Everything was good until suddenly 3583
library failed. Only reboot of aix plus switching power off for that
library helped. Now library works, but I moved manually few tapes from
drives to slots and now experiencing problem.

I tried call AUDIT LIBRARY with checking barcode and read labels. I left
it for a night. The result is the same - it hangs. A few weeks ago I ran
the audit and it worked ok. The worst part is when audit hands, other
processes related to that library hang too.

Have somebody ever experienced such behavior? Is there a way to get
additional information about what is wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Yuriy Us.
