You will find that you can still read/write data to these volumes. The last use is just a record of how the volume was used the last time it was mounted based on what I know. I do not know for sure if move drmedia is a DRM module only feature, but the "move drmedia" would be a better choice to transfer tapes to/from the vault.

Recent , I copied the primary storage pool to a copy storage pool. Then I made access offsite to these volumes belonging to copy pool. Last I checked-out them. Next day (just to try) I checked-in the offsite volumes and made "access" field as "readwrite". Now the point is: Before those operations, "q libv" output was: Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Element ------------ ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ------------ 3583LIB 101ACF Private Data 4 10 Now the output is: Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Element ------------ ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ------------ 3583LIB 101ACF Private 4 116 What happened the "LAST USE"="Data" field of all check-ed out volumes? Is it the nature of the game or did I do something wrong? By the way volumes stil contains data when I look output of "q vol" Regards, Burak
