I don't think an audit will be necessary here. The drive is "unknown" state because TSM hasm't talked to it yet. Once TSM gets a tape in there, the state will change to "loaded", and after that "empty"

We had the picker hang up today and is in the process of being repaired. We are running a IBM 3484 library. The problem is with RMT1 which is now showing "Drive State: UNKNOWN" but the other drives look fine. How can I change it back to "EMPTY" since the drive is empty? I tried to toggle it "OFFLINE" then back "ONLINE" but it stayed in the same state. =================================================================== Library Name: 3584LIB3 Drive Name: RMT1 Device Type: LTO On-Line: Yes Read Formats: ULTRIUM2C,ULTRIUM2,ULTRIUMC,ULTRI UM Write Formats: ULTRIUM2C,ULTRIUM2,ULTRIUMC,ULTRI UM Element: 269 Drive State: UNKNOWN Allocated to: WWN: 500507630007A911 Serial Number: 1110111802 Last Update by (administrator): JONES Last Update Date/Time: 07/18/05 12:54:55 Cleaning Frequency (Gigabytes/ASNEEDED/NONE): ASNEEDED ===================================================================== Eric Jones PLATFORM AND SERVER SOLUTIONS Owego, NY Phone: 607-751-4133 ############################################################## This message is for the named person's use only.
