Remember - you can't checkin a tape as scratch if TSM has records of data on it. IE, if the volume is in a storage pool, has an database backup on it, or other situation where TSM knows the tape is in use. You can, however, check it in a Private, then check it back out and have the library eject

I have a 3575 but have had similar problem occaisionally. Do your operators actually check that the tapes on the "offsite" list all came out of library? That was our problem here, they didn't do a thorough check and every now and then a tape wouldn't come out for various reasons yet they did not

The way to know the tapes that are physically in the library is: mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qI The last letter is an uppercase i. If you want to put it to a file just: mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qI>/tmp/yourfilename Thanks, Manuel J. Sanchez Assurant Group (305) 252-7035 x32153 [EMAIL PROTECTE
