How can I force TSM to checkout tapes that are in an inaccessible library?
Here's the situation. We have a 3584 LTO library that is fibre attached through a SAN switch. The library is inaccessible because of switch problems. I have defined another library (with a path through a different device) and can communicate with the physical library now, through a new library definition. I have 1 tape defined to the new library, because it was on my desk. I need to check out all of the scratch tapes from the inaccessible library and check them into the good one. I have tried 'checkout libv 3584lib xxxxxx checklabel=no force=yes remove=no' because that seemed to be just database and not physical connection required. But it failed. TSM is 5.2.2.0 on AIX. Thanks for any ideas. Nancy Reeves Technical Support, Wichita State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] 316-978-3860
