TSM 5.1.6.2 on AIX 4.3.3.10 I am running DRM and I am seeing large discrepancies in what I have offsite and what TSM reports as being offsite. I run a q drm wherest=vault [or a select statement] and compare the list to the physical tapes offsite and they don't match. About 8 weeks ago, we did this manual inventory and had about 60-tapes "come back." I did not pay much attention to this since we have been making some pretty drastic changes to our retention policies. Since then, though, we have not made any changes and when we did a manual inventory last week, we found about 32-tapes that did not match TSM's inventory. Has anyone else seen this? If so, can this be explained? Thanks. Mahesh
