I had this problem when I tried to checkin the 7 GB, C XL, cartridges with doing the
EPROM upgrade first.....
Make sure you aren't using the "red" tapes.

We are using IBM c-format media.
AIX level: 4.3.3.0 - 02
ADSM level: adsm.server.rte 3.1.2.50
adsm.devices.rte 3.1.2.50
Atape.driver 5.1.3.0
We get the same errors when running: audit library 3575lib
checklabel=barcode
I logged a call with IBM and this was their response:
I don't think it is an ADSM problem.
I think you can try the following to verify that barcode reader
had no hardware problem :
From AIX use tapeutil command when ADSM server is halted =>
option 1 - open device => /dev/smc0
" 14 - element inventory
You'll see all the library slots. Each entries is as follow :
Slot Address 34
Slot State ..................... Normal
ASC/ASCQ ....................... 0000
Media Present .................. Yes
Robot Access Allowed ........... Yes
Source Element Address Valid ... No
Media Inverted ................. No
Volume Tag ..................... xxxxxxx
Choose a slot where "media present = yes" and verify if
"volume tag option show a volume label" . If there is no label
in the "volume tag" field, then I think the barcode reader is
not in a good state.
You can also try another method,
from dir /usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin , start "lbtest"
option 1 - manual test
" 1 - set device special file => /dev/smc0
" 6 - open
" 12 - audit then option 2 scan barcode .
I tried the above 2 methods and the both worked fine.
It seems like the barcode reader works fine, but is net set up correctly
in ADSM.
I have read all the manuals, redbooks, redpieces, etc. on setting up
this library in ADSM and cannot find the problem.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?
Thanks
