FFFA says manually removed and the only way to clear it is to change it to a FFFB (Purge Volume category).
The way I do this via AIX is: mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -C -Vvolser -sFFFA -t FFFB Ronald Le Large <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> 01/24/2007 09:13 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> To ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU cc Subject [ADSM-L] How to remove a tape from a 3494 inventory ? I have manually removed an inserted (not labelled) 3592 tape from a 3494 library. Before I removed it, the mtlib command showed the tape with a category of FF00 After I (physically) removed it form the slot, the category changed into FFFA (means volume is manually ejected). But, the mtlib query still shows the tape and I am afraid that if I insert the tape later it will be refused by the library . My question: how do I remove this tape from the library inventory so it will not be shown anymore via the mtlib command The library automatically makes an inventory after you have opened and closed the doors. Apart from that I started a additional inventory update via the library manager. Kind regards, Ronald TSM admin
