I did the same thing 3 years ago. I was using RMM instead of CA-1. z/OS with a TMS would automatically check in volumes.
I have schedule a administrative command to run once a week to check in the volumes checkin libvolume library-name search=bulk checklabel=barcode status=private waittime=0 That is what I missed about the mainframe, all of the automation is built in. I had a lot of automation base on messages that no longer works. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Pagnotta, Pam Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 7:18 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: New to TSM on AIX and using TSM as Library Manager Hello, We have been running TSM on MVS for 15 years, using CA-1 as our Tape Management system without any problems, but we have recently been working on moving to TSM on AIX. We have a TS3500 Tape Library and we are using our new TSM server as the Library Manager. We also are using TSMManager and its Vaulting Manager. We send our tapes off-site on a weekly basis and when tapes are returned they go to another area in our building for an extra week before being returned to the Tape Library. This leaves a gap of 10 days between the time the Check-in report was originally run to when the tapes are actually available for use again. Does anyone have a clever way to handle this so that the tapes are once again made available to the Library Manager? We are finding that the tapes go into the library but are left in import mode. Do we need to rerun the Check-in? Any insights into how others are handling similar situations, would be greatly appreciated.
