I am trying to check in a new LTO3 tape in our new IBM 3582 TSM tape library that was installed a month ago.
However it keeps failing. I would like to know if I am doing it correctly before logging a fault call with IBM. I am placing the new tape with the barcode label on it, in the IO slot on the right side of the unit. The command I execute is: tsm: ANLTSM>label libvol lb1.1.0.3 818ACFL2 checkin=scratch ANS8003I Process number 593 started. tsm: ANLTSM>q pr Process Process Description Status Number -------- -------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 593 LABEL LIBVOLUME ANR8804I Labelling volume 818ACFL2 in library LB1.1.0.3. tsm: ANLTSM>q req ANR8352I Requests outstanding: ANR8306I 153: Insert LTO volume 818ACFL2 R/W into the slot with element number 4112 of library LB1.1.0.3 within 60 minutes; issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready. The error that appears in the log when it fails is: 11/08/2006 13:28:10 ANR8300E I/O error on library LB1.1.0.3 (OP=8401C058, CC=314, KEY=FF, ASC=FF, ASCQ=FF, SENSE=**NONE**, Description=The source slot or drive was empty in an attempt to move a volume).
