Help! I am feeling quite dumb here, have searched the archives and read
the manuals all to no avail. It's probably just me ...
I have an IBM LTO 3583 library. I have successfully inserted tapes and
begun backing up with TSM. All
was going well. Recently I decided that it was time to use the library as
it was intended. Using DRM I
decided I should remove COPY tapes and DB Backup Tapes etc. and keep them
in my "vault". That was
easy. Now however I would like to put back in some of the tapes that have
expired. Here is where I am
having trouble.
We have one column in the library to hold tapes and one I/O port. I can
add new scratch tapes with label
libvolume ... checkin=scratch .. but I can not seem to get those old
used and expired tapes back in.
I have tried the checking libvolume xxxxx scratch=yes. I am prompted
(through the actlog) to insert the tape in slot 16. Here is my problem.
Which slot is 16? I have tried a couple of different ones and get
ANR8306I 007: Insert LTO volume 111ACH R/W into the slot
with element number 16 of library LTOLIB within 58
minutes; issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID
when
ready. </mv>

I do not know how to tell what slot is 16. Help! Pretty soon I will run
out of new tapes to add and I can't get the old ones back in. I feel
foolish. It seems like this should be easy. Help! And will we're at it,
how can I log on an admin client (in line mode) with mount messages being
sent to this session.
Thanks in advance for any and all help, including RTFM - just tell me what
page number!
