That is true, I guess the question is if the library is shared?
If it is not shared, then he should check for tapes that are sitting in
the library but are not in the private or scratch categories.
On a 3492 library, I would run this command "mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -q I"
which will show you the inventory categories. They will be the ones that
you set on your "define library" command, but the library translates
that number into hex.
The ones that are likely going to be your extra
problem-children tapes will likely be those starting with FF. FF00 are
ones that are in the library but not checked in.

Hi,
Audit library will only remove tapes from the ITSM library inventory if
not present in the libray. It will never checkin tapes that are in the
library but not in the ITSM library inventory.
Checkin libv XX search=library st=scratch and/or Checkin libv XX
search=library st=priv
will checkin tapes that are in the library but not in ITSM. Be carefull
with shared libraries. You don't want to take ownership of and overwrite
data from other systems.
Regards,
Karel

Hi All,
We recently upgraded from TSM 5.1.x to 5.2.6 (on AIX 5.2) and now notice
that our tape library is about to run out of space. I did a manual
inventory and compared it to the storage pools and see that there about
250 more tapes in the physical library than TSM is accounting for
(storage pools, scratches, DB backups).
We are running a 3494 library with 3590 tapes.
Any help in pointing us in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ralph
