Checkin libvol was, traditionally, a single-threaded component -- regardless of how many processes you started; this will probably not be changed, since most customers use a single library per TSM server (and the libvol must be serialized during the checkin process).
BTW, checkin will fail if there are no drives available (even if you request it to just read the barcodes, without loading a drive with tapes).

Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 11:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Checkin libvol V5.1.1 server I just upgraded my test server to TSM 5.1.1. I can't say I ever noticed this on the V4 server so I don't know if this is the same or different. I checked in 9 scratch volumes separately so I could watch all 9 processes finish. The first 6 I purposefully use checkl=yes to force mounts on drives to see if they were ok. The last 3 with checkl=no. The last 3 process with checkl=no sat there till the last process of checkl=yes finished before they ran. Not sure why a process not checking a label couldn't finish sooner than one that is. Anyone else seen this? Geoff Gill TSM Administrator NT Systems Support Engineer SAIC E-Mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (858) 826-4062 Pager: (877) 905-7154
