Run an 'audit library "3583" checkl=barcode' to update library inventory in TSM and a 'checkin libv "3853" search=yes checkl=barcode stat=pri'.
Let us know if the problem presists after the two commands have run successful.

Sometimes we get a "slot obstructed" error message because the library tries to put a tape into a slot which is already filled with another tape. Looking into the librarys slot information reveals that it assumes this slot is empty! First I thought the cause would be the tape itself / its barcode. But after removing this tape from the lib, the "slot obstructed" problem still occurres with the same slot but a different tape. Whatever the cause is, is there a way to tell TSM _not_ to use this slot, even if its empty? Is my assumption right that TSM and not the lib decides where to put a tape when checking it in or removing it from a tapedrive? But when does TSM get the information about which slots are present in a library? During an "audit library"?
