Did you try upd libv 3493lib01 k20005 stat=scr
Running the following script will help identify candidate volumes. select volume_name from libvolumes where status='Private' and libvolumes.volume_name not in (select volume_name from volumes) and libvolumes.volume_name not in (select volume_name from volhistory where type in ('BACKUPFULL','BACKUPINCR','DBSNAPSHOT','EXPO- RT')) At 09:47 AM 9/27/2005 -0400, you wrote:
Hello, Environment: FSPHTSM1 server 5.2.3.0 AIX 5.2 - library manager FSPHTSM2 server 5.1.7.0 AIX 5.2 - library client 3494 library shared, 1221 cells, 6 3590H1A drives I recently discovered 200+ volumes that are in "limbo". From a 'q libvol' on the library manager, They are shown as owned by FSPHTSM2 Library Name: 3494LIB01 Volume Name: K20005 Status: Private Owner: FSPHTSM2 Last Use: Data Home Element: Device Type: Cleanings Left: Media Type: However on FSPHTSM2 a 'q vol K20005' returns 'ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria.' I think I found one situation that caused this problem. During a backup schedule on FSPHTSM2, the diskpool filled, and numerous sessions tried to mount tapes. These sessions were canceled before writing to the tapes, and it looks like FSPHTSM2 did not add the tape to the storage pool even though FSPHTSM1 marked them as such. I think this type of situation has happened several times over the past few years leading to the large number of tapes 'orphaned'. Will running an AUDIT LIBRARY fix this type of problem? Is there any less intrusive way to recover the tapes? Thanks for any help.
