Hi not sure if this help but this is how we do it. First I do a move drm for each vaultretrieve that I am going to checkin. move drm vol1234 wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve move drm vol2345 wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve move drm vol3456 wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve The I run the following which I put in a script I call checkin, less typing "run checkin" checkin libvol ibm3584 search=bulk status=scratch checkl=barcode Next q req, and finally, reply request number, that's it. I do not have to have a drive free for this process because the checkl=barcode. TSM Server 5.1.6.3 This works for us, hope it helps. Mark Bertrand -----Original Message----- From: Marcel J.E. Mol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 8:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: checkin <vol> checklabel=barcode search=bulk Hello, I have an issue with the TSM checkin facility. I have this 3584 library with 10 slot ioport (bulk). The library is split in 2 logicals. So the bulk can have tapes from both logical libraries. (eg operators returning tapes and don't know what tapes belong to which librarie so just put them all i the bulk). Now I want to checkin the volumes known to TSM DRM (vaultretrieve) volume by volume by just checking the barcode on the volume. I would want to run something like: checkin libv 3584lib <volume> checklabel=barcode search=bulk So just tell TSM to scan the bulk for the specified volume and check it in without checking the label using a tapedrive. And preferably also without putting out a request to insert the volume in the bulk. But: tsm: > checkin libv 3584lib 100288 checklabel=barcode search=bulk ANR2020E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Invalid parameter - SEARCH. ANS8001I Return code 3. (Ok, 'help checkin libv' shows that this is not valid syntax.) All I can do is checkin libv 3584lib 100288 checklabel=yes But now TSM request me specifically to put the volume in the top slot of the bulk and reply to a request, after which TSM will put the volume checks the label using a drive. (I could use checklabel=no but then TSM just picks whatever in is the top bulk slot and assumes it is the specified volume). As the operator puts in many volumes in the bulk I have to move then to the top slot one by one. Do I overlook something or should this be filed as an enhancement request? TSM server 5.1.8 and 5.2 on AIX 5.1. Thanks, -Marcel -- ======-------- Marcel J.E. Mol MESA Consulting B.V. =======--------- ph. +31-(0)6-54724868 P.O.
