If your actlog goes back that far, I would search the actlog for those volume numbers
and see what the sequence of events was with them. With out IBM 3575 Library the
operators soemntimes get in a hurry when processing out the DRM offsite tapes and
issue a reply before they have emptied the I/O station and the next tape then will be
left in library, although *SM thinks it'; out.
Basically in actlog I see where prompt was to remove tape blah from slot blah instead
of from the I/O slot and the operators don't look at message they just reply
automatically.

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?
