Do a "q libvol" and that should show where TSM thinks that tape is.
Also could probably do "q actlog" for time period when you tried restore and messages probably will indicate where TSM is trying to get tape from. David B.

Is there any way we can find original place where it was. Yes I know auditing going to fix all these problems but its time consuming. Karl, When I use 'q libvol' it does not element address and also in volhsit file. When I used robot backside panel to check volume location..it show nothing. Tape is in the library. thanks again. muthyam >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/10/2005 12:29:44 PM >>> Yes, that is not surprising. Whenever you move a tape or place it in a slot yourself, you should run a TSM AUDIT LIBRARY command. That tells TSM to rescan the library and update the info about which tape is in each slot. Run the AUDIT LIBRARY from the admin command line, or from the web GUI. The syntax may be slightly different depending on the type of library your have. (When posting info to this list, PLEASE INCLUDE your TSM server platform, version #, and type of tape library. You'll get better answers that way!) AUDIT LIBRARY libname CHECKLABEL=BARCODE The AUDIT LIBRARY will not run if there are other tape operations in progress (like migration or reclaim).

Now when I am trying to restore its updating tape to unavailable and restore fails. I am thinking TSM lost address of tape after I placed tape manually in the slot. Is there any way I can find tape original slot in the library. Can some help how I am going to fix this problem. thanks muthyam ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ This electronic mail transmission contains information from Joy Mining Machinery which is confidential, and is intended only for the use of the proper addressee.
