As with what others said: 1. Create the library with the exact same name as the last one, (may even work with a new name) then restart TSM with the disablesched yes option in the dsmserv.opt file. 2. with no other processes running run the "audit libr" command so TSM will know what's in the library. 3. run a checkin libv status=scratch first so it will check in all the scratch volumes first. It will not checkin tapes with valid data as scratch but it will checkin scratch tapes as private if you don't do this step first. 4. run a checkin libv status=private. This will get all your valid tapes back in the system. 5. remove the "disablesched" option from the dsmserv.opt file and restart TSM. Things should begin functioning normally.
The next time, before you remove the old library make sure you check out all volumes first. Then once the new library is in place you can begin the checkin process through the IO slots and TSM will be very happy.
