Thanks again George! I think I am going try this
run the audit command >> AUDIT VOLUME volser FIX=YES That shouldn't hurt anything. regards -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of George Huebschman Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 1:38 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: TSM Export issue unavailable tapes causing the exports to suspend themselves That is a q vol, not q libvol. It sounds like TSM or the library can not find the tapes. - The location is blank, so TSM believes the tapes are home. That does not guarantee they are, or that they are in the right address in the library. - Then the actlog should show if there are read errors (although these tapes are not in error state and show no read or write errors.) - I don't know what library you have and I only have experience with a few, but libraries do lose tapes. You could try a library audit. These tapes were last read/writen from half a year to almost a year ago. Have there been any changes to the library or virtual library since then? - Try ejecting the tapes from the library (checking them out) then checking them back in. - If they won't checkout try ejecting them via the library. Then check them out with "remove=no"...then check them back in. - You could try a move data on one of the tapes as a test. Put the console up and look for error/warning messages as the command processes.
