To use lbtest, run
lbtest -d
Ex. lbtest -d /dev/lb0
If the library is already defined to the TSM server, make sure that the

Then select 1 for manual test..
In the manual test menu, select

First, you should have a lmcpd daemon running. This is the daemon that communicats
with the IBM 3494 ATL.
Second, you should have a device called lmcpX (normally, you can self decide which

Third, have you configured TSM to use the lcmp device as dev

The way to manage a full library is to use the move media command. This will mark the

Shannon,
Our TDP Lotus Domino backup is about 20GB daily; and it is direct to tape,
which is colocated. Colocated is best because data on tapes expire at a
rapid rate(depending on your retention policy), and very little reclamation
process
time is required to bring tapes back to scratch.

If you do a q db then you will see a line that shows the Maximum Extension
then just do an extend db with the number being a number the same
