try running an inventory on the library itself... if the tape(s) are
actually outside the atl, this will update the info you see with the "mtlib"
command. ALSO you need to note the status with which the tapes show up in
the output of the "mtlib" command... if they show up with a FFFA that is a
manual eject which would say they really aren't in there :-/
To physically purge any library records you may use the
mtlib -l/dev/lmcp# -C -VXXX### -sXXXX -tFFFB
where # is your library number, XXX### is your tape volser, and XXXX is the
current status of the tape shown in the mtlib query of the volume...
Yes, if the tape actually exists in the atl (say in FF00 insert mode) and
your tsm system thinks it is not in the library inventory (of tsm) but is
actually a private tape, an "audit libr blah" will NOT add the tape to your
tsm library inventory, you will have to do that yourself with a "checkin
libvol ..."
hope this helps...
later,
Dwight

Subject: Library audit
After returning today from a weeks worth of SS52B training I decided to
check my library to see it's status. I find there are 11 volumes that show
up with the following command:
mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qI, which are supposed to be in the vault. Of the 11 I
know 4 are not physically in the vault but the other 7 are. If they are out
of the library then why does this command show them as in? DRM shows all 11
in the vault. If I try to eject them TSM says they are not in the library.
I tried to audit the library but I didn't see any synchronization between
the library manager and TSM: (From the readme)
If TSM detects inconsistencies, the server updates its inventory to
reflect the current state of the library. TSM deletes missing volumes and
updates moved volume locations. TSM does not automatically add new volumes;
you must check in new volumes with the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command.
Maybe this doesn't talk to the anything except itself, I don't understand
that if the tape is truly out of the library why does the mtlib command show
it's in? And if the tape is really in the library why doesn't TSM update the
DRM status?
Any ideas from anyone?
