I output info into files and then run a script to clean and parse what I
don't want out of it. This is all done in one big script but the part that
does it is sed..

As long as you use the "checklabel=barcode" you should have it done pretty
quick.
My largest library is 9 frames(2766 cells) , and it is packed, even if it

Anyway, it takes about 15-20 minutes..
3 other library(s) @ 7 , 4 , 3 frames take about 5-
If all that does not work, try removing device and running cfgmgr again.

not..

That's the way TSM works..
It reads from the Primary Stgpool volume if the Offsite volume can not be
used. (Because it is OFFSITE where it should be)
It also works the same with the "Move data" commands ...

This taken from admin guide for AIX pg 221:
Nfstimeout
The nfstimeout option specifies the number of seconds the server
waits for a status system call on an NFS file system before it times out.
You can use this option to mitigate the default behavior of status
calls on NFS file syste
