The control panel on our TS3500 reports library full with 1408 volumes. 4 are cleaning cartridges, so there should be 1404 volumes in TSM. But Select count(volume_name) from libvolumes Returns 1381, leaving 23 unaccounted for. The Web gui shows no unassigned volumes, so where are the missing

Also, make sure you have run a CHECKIN with search=yes and another with search=BULK. select * from libvolumes shows the volumes that have been checked in, not necessarily all the volumes in the physical library. On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 12:55 PM, Wanda Prather <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do you ha

You can try retrieving info via SNMP. I have used oid's starting with 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182. Slots were oid's 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.182.3.7.2.1.11.nnn, with the barcode returned as the value. You may need to enable SNMP gets via the Library web interface. I have not tried this with a TS3500, but with a 358

You can also try the show slots and show library from the TSM server. Compare what TSM thinks is in the library with what is really in the library. In my experience, if you've updated the library's physical configuration without a reboot of the TSM Server, the TSM's library inventory can becom

And I'll speak from personal experience, and when a UNIX guru of my caliber (about .204) speaks, one should listen: when you have device driver issues on Solaris, you are pretty much completely on your own. Finding the one guy in TSM support land that knows Solaris and the vagaries of Qlogic br

Thanks all for your suggestions. The last time we asked the CE about missing tapes was June, after an incident where 11 returns from offsite disappeared into the robot. Since then we've upgraded drives, robot firmware, and TSM, and done only label commands in order to upgrade the returning tap
