Hello Zoltan,

        Congrats!
        For checkin I use the following

checkin libv 3584lib search=bulk checkl=barcode status=Scratch waitt=0

bulk means to check the Virtual I/O slots or entry doors. The YES option is 
only needed if you want to scan the entire library. With ALMS option that your 
library has the physical library is also keeping track of the tape locations, 
and sending this to the tsm server when you checkin. I would also add the 
waitt=0 option, so you don't have to wait the default 60 minutes, you can then 
check the logs for any details related to the checkin.

        For the split libraries that you have setup, you can assign and 
probably should assign a tape range associated with each virtual library. That 
should take care of the unassigned tapes that you are seeing. Ultimately, you 
should be able to insert a mix and match of volumes, and the library will 
assign each of those tapes to its respective virtual library. Then you run the 
tape checkin that assign a status of scratches to them.

        Take a look at the following online library settings under Cartridges 
-> Cartridge Assignment Policy

-Nick

Hi Zoltan,


for checkin I would recommend to fill the I/O slots and then do "checkin libvol 
 <libname> search=bulk checklabel=barcode status=<what you need, scratch or 
private>"

I can't say anything to virtual libs

regards
Dierk

Our new TS3500 was installed this weekend (replacing our 17-year old 3494) and 
I have lots of questions about how things should be done/configured and why it 
is doing what it is doing.

First off, the library is configured as 2-virtual librarys, each side with 
fixed drive assignments and each side managed by a separate TSM server.

1.  Per other discussions, I configured 255 "Virtual IO".  We also 
configured/enabled "Insert Notification". However, some tapes keep being 
inserted "unassigned" while most are properly assigned to the right library?.  
Why?

2.  What is the proper CHECKIN command options for doing mass checkins from
the IO/VIO slots?    SEARCH=BULK or SEARCH=YES - CHECKLABEL=YES or
CHECKLABEL=BARCODE?  The book says for a SCSI library you can't specify 
SEARCH=YES and CHECKLABEL=NO....
