That's what I would expect at this point either the volume serial length, or the licenses aren't right. I would check the volser length set in the web interface with the volume names you have in TSM. I'll bet the length is different. Then I'd call IBM and yell till someone came out and corrected my problem. Why were they messing with the licenses on your library? I wonder if you got choked down to the number of slots or something along those lines. I've had problems with IBM assuming they can just get in and do things myself. If they didn't contact you, or alert anyone that they were going to be doing this I'd be on their case hard.

That would explain not finding any already checked in volumes. On 02/01, ashish sharma wrote: > Hello Howard, > > Yes i received a lot of messages " cant find tapes in slot".
