I want to add a comment.
The point to me is that an audit db FAILS to detect and correct the error.
Period. And thats is not good since we reley on our db to read our tapes.
An unload may discover a corruption and we have the possibilities to audit
or dump our db.
And when thoose option

We have had to do this in the past to free up library space.
Rather than using the checkout libvol command, I would suggest using the
functions within the TSM server to store tapes outside of the library:
the "move media" command.
Do a 'help move media' for how it works.

Quick answer. User the "query media" and "move media" commands.
Query can show you in order, how long tapes have not been used.
Move media then allows you to move (er checkout) tapes that haven't
been accessed in a certain number of days.
If one of these tapes is later needed, TSM will prompt fo
#1, what's your retention for this data if you don't need it reuse the tapes.
#2 if they aren't at 100% do "move data" on them to free up the tapes that way.
#3 if your solution calls for long term storage then just check them out and
you should be good to go.

I'm sure it really depends on the number of mounts and
reads/write cycles that the tape goes through. The problem with the
3590E tapes is that once they are taken out of the library, the number
of mounts is lost, so actual mounts per tape is a pure guess if you have

Rob,
I couldn't agree more with Mark. Please read the introduction to TSM.
When I look at the name of your copy storage pool (3581_week2) it seems
that you are still working in a full/incremental way. This is not how
TSM works.

Here's one possibility:
If the TEC server is not up or not accessible when the TSM server
starts, the Tivoli event logging will be disabled. You can restart it
with the "BEGIN EVENTLOGGING TIVOLI" command.

Hi Li!
It depends. If you are doing LAN-free to a similar device, then you do not
have to use separate adapters.
However, when you are doing LAN-free to tape or to storage which requires a
different device driver, then you will need separate adapters. IBM does not
support disk and tape I/O through
