Feng, When you checking out the tapes...I have nothing to do with the drive...The drives will continue to run It backup...The robot will move the tapes out of the library after you run the commands...
Remember, these are live data tapes...(Which means there are data still on these tapes) Lock them up Somewhere safe...when you are ready to check them in or when the TSM application request for it for A restore, migration or reclaiming the data from the tape...You will need to check it back in... The command to check these tapes in are: ADSM>checkin libv XXXX **** devt=3590 status=private (XXXX) your library name (****) the tapes volume Devt=???? (depends on what you are using) TT -----Original Message----- From: fenglimian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 9:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: help:adsm check out question Hi all, I have a 3494 library with 2 drives,now I must checkout some tape from my library.When I am checkouting these tapes the drives can do backup operation at the same time?What about the time the library labeling the tape.
