I think that worked. Thank you.
I still can't check in any brand new tapes. I have another tape, that when I did the checkin, I got this message (this is NOT the brand new tape or the orphaned tape I just got checked in....this tape is old): ANR8816E LABEL LIBVOLUME: Volume A00025L5 in library XXXXXXX cannot be labeled because it is currently defined in a storage pool or in the volume history file. But when I do a q vol *...it looks like it's being used: A00025L5 LTO_COPY LTO_TAPE 1.5 T 19.4 Filling It does not show up when I do a q drm. What does this mean?? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Huebner, Andy Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 1:55 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command Add overwrite=yes As I said before, this WILL delete any data on the tape.

Yes I have one tape as described below. Private with no last use. And does not show up with a q drm. What's the command to re-label the tape? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Huebner, Andy Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 12:02 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU<mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command q libv LIBRARY will show all of the tapes in the library. If your tape pools use tapes from scratch then look for a tape that is private with no last use. These are sometimes orphaned tapes. You can verify if they are orphaned by q vol and searching q drm for the tape. When I find an orphan I re-label the tape, but be careful, an error can delete data.

I tried status=private. Results were the same. I tried: label libv xxxxxx search=yes checkin=scratch labels=b volr=A00560L5,A00561L5 same results. Also, the maxscr on all our copy pools are fine. (difference of allowed and used is plenty) I have tried status=bulk in the past, on a tape I had issues with earlier in the year, but that tape is just sitting in the library and no backup process has ever used it. So I'm hesitant to use 'bulk'. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Huebner, Andy Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 10:37 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU<mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command Below is the command I use on my virtual L180 libraries which are SCSI libraries. I think the difference is the volume range. I do not know the library you have, but some libraries are partitioned and you have to make sure the tapes are assigned to the correct partition. label libv vlibTSM_4 checkin=scr labelsource=barcode volr=s40000,s49999 search=y Andy Huebner -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeanne Bruno Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 8:39 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU<mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Subject: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command Hello. We are using TSM manager 6.3.3.0. Tape Library is a DS3512. I'm trying to check in some brand new tapes (LTO Ultrium 1.5TB). On the DS3512, I choos the library and insert the tape into the machine. On the command line I use this command: label libv xxxxxx search=yes checkin=scratch labels=b overwrite=y My output is this: ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL LIBVOLUME xxxx search=yes checkin=scratch labels=b overwrite=y ANR0984I Process 120 for LABEL LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 09:29:14. ANR8799I LABEL LIBVOLUME: Operation for library XXXXXX started as process 120. ANR8801I LABEL LIBVOLUME process 120 for library XXXXXX completed; 0 volume(s) labeled, 0 volume(s) checked-in. ANR0985I Process 120 for LABEL LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 09:29:19. 0 volumes, but finished successfully and when I query the library XXXXXX, the new tape does not show in the list. I have also tried this command: CHECKIN LIBVOLUME xxxxxx SEARCH=YES CHECKLABEL=YES status=scratch WAITTIME=0 VOLLIST=A00xxxxL5. Results are the same. I have also tried putting the tapes on the door of the machine and not doing the 'insert media'...again results on the same. We just received 30 new tapes last week and I've tried about 10 of them so far. I have used the cleaning tape and did the clean process and also rebooted the DS3512.....same results afterwards. Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ____________________ Jeannie Bruno Senior Systems Analyst jbr...@cenhud.com<mailto:jbr...@cenhud.com<mailto:jbr...@cenhud.com%3cmailto:jbr...@cenhud.com>> Central Hudson Gas & Electric (845) 486-5780
