If that happens (having a tape in slot where another tapes belongs then tsm will take the drive offline and you will have take the tape out of the drive by hand. This is probarly not what you want. You could do a q mount, get a list of the mounted tape and with a query libv see in which slots these tapes belong. This way you know which slot you can use. It would be easiest to put this in a script which gives you a list of slots you can use or can not use, but this is depending on the size of your installation. (maybe some handy sql select command could do the trick)

Search=yes is not picking up the media from the Service port.
I need to use Search=bulk. And and it??s still does??nt work.<
If you're loading tapes into the I/O station, you'll have to run the request/reply process to check them. The search=yes parameter is only used when you put tapes into the library manually.
I noticed that too. But isn't entering tapes in empty slots a bit dangerous? If tsm has loaded a tape from say slot 100 in a drive and you put a new tape in slot 100 what will happen if tsm wants to return the tape from the drive to its original slot?
I'm using a script to checkin tapes one by one from the ioslots (3584) explicitely specifying the volumelabel. TSM then requests me to put the tape in the upper slot for every tape. I wish that it would support search=bulk so it scans the ioports for the specific volume...
