Hello Karel, Thank-you so much for your explanation...that really helped me to understand why I needed to check the tapes back in. I was hoping to just open the library door and remove them from the old library, but would you recommend that I use a checkout command to do this?
Thank-you, Bonnie -----Original Message----- From: Bos, Karel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 2:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: From An ATL7100 to a P3000 Hi, If you delete a library all volumes are deleted from the inventory (no library=no inventory). If you define your new library, this will be an empty one (new library=no inventory). Audit library will not checkin volumes, it will only remove missing volumes from the library inventory. Now you have an empty library (in ITSM) and your volumes are put in the new library (mixed scratch and private). - If you give a audit library, no volumes will be checked in in ITSM; - If you give a <checkin libv search=library stat=PRIVATE> both your Private tapes and your scratch tapes will be checked in as Private, leaving you with a new library and no scratch tapes available. Don't think you will want to to this...; - If you do a <checkin libv search=library stat=Scratch>, ITSM will not accept the Private tapes as Scratch and ONLY checkin the scratch tapes as Scratch. Then run another checkin this time with <checkin libv search=library stat=private> for the remaining tapes (the private once). An other way is manual sort your tapes and check them in as either Scr or Priv. Hope above will help.

At first you say to checkin my data tapes as scratch, but then you say that private tapes cannot be checked in as scratch????

But you will have to do a checkin libv stat=scratch before doing checkin libv stat=priv. ITSM will let you checkin empty volumes as private, but will not accept private tapes being checked in as scratch.

We are currently looking at putting our process for this change together and have found we have a few questions. We thought we could delete the path to the drives, path to the library, the drives and then the library. We would then connect the new library and physically move the DLT'4 tapes over to the new library and redefine everything. We are now concerned that if we delete the library will the database no longer know of the tapes? Would anyone have any suggestions or see any problems with this plan?
