In the midst of replacing the 3494 and drives now and I thought of something. I'm obviously going to have to remove the drives from TSM and AIX, then rescan and redefine both. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I'm going to have any issues with the library. Replacement hardware is the same as what's being removed.
As for the tape suggestions I got last week this is what I used and it worked to create the file and check everything out with a remove=no. SET SQLDISPLAYMODE WIDE select 'checkout libv ' || trim(library_name) || ' ' || trim(volume_name) || ' checkl=no rem=no' from libvolumes > /temp/macro dsmadmc -id=xxxx -pass=xxxx -itemcommit macro /temp/macro When I check tapes back in do I need do I need to checkin as scratch or private, since they really do have data on them. checkin libvol 3494lib U00235 search=yes status=private checkl=no devt=3590 Thanks, Geoff Gill TSM Administrator NT Systems Support Engineer SAIC E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Phone: (858) 826-4062 Pager: (877) 905-7154
