Also sounds like you are using POLLING. At least for that client. Then you get a start time randomized based on the DURATION of the schedule and the SET RANDOMIZE value. If you seitch to PROMPTED for that client, you should see it pretty close to the starttime of the schedule. You can do it via

Hello Nick, I did not know that barcodes make the layout was any different than using the web interface or the front panel. I thought that both the tape drives and the slots each had to be one sequence of drives or slots. And if you wanted to add or subtract, unless the change was to the border

The barcode labels came with the library and the clips for the tape slot columns. I don't remember how many different partitions you can create from them as they are pre-labeled. I think 4. I'm not where I can go in a look at our 3584. The "clip" for the drives is on the front of the drive. You j

OK, I get to read about bar code labels and try to make this work for us. It's nice that it's possible; if not so nice that the granularity on how slots are assigned is a bit more coarse and that it'll be some work putting labels and clips into place. Oh, well! Thanks for pointing me in the right

Unless things have changed in a more recent firmware than I'm running (always possible) there are three ways to partition a 3584; the web interface, the operator panel, and the barcode labels. The web interface and the front panel both work the same -- how many drives, starting with number 1, are

I've "known", if I may abuse the term so, that TSM is capable of using checksums to inform its incremental decisions for some time. But it looks like I've just imagined this; am I correct? I understand that doing checksum comparisons would be hideously CPU-expensive at the client side, because yo
