Everyone! I used the following command to add a storage volume xxxxx into our library 3584_library: Checkin libvolume 3584_lib search=bulk status=scratch checklabel=barcode And you can see the following results: ANR8422I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Operation for library 3584_LIB started as process 4. 10/06/03 13:36:58 ANR0609I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME started as process 4. 10/06/03 13:37:43 ANR8431I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME process completed for library 3584_LIB; 2 volume(s) found. 10/06/03 13:37:43 ANR0985I Process 4 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 13:37:43. but after about 20 minutes it generated the following error messages: ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume 000105 in drive 3584_DRIVE2 (/dev/rmt2).
