Answers in line below... I have a weird situation taking place. I believe there are two distinct issues but they might be related. A gripper issue caused a few tapes to be mishandled and dropped into the library. I ended up checking them out but cannot fix these issues:
When I run a "show slots 3584lib" there are two anomalies: Slot 330, status Allocated, element number 1355, barcode not present, barcode value <>, devT=ANY, mediaT=-1, elemT=ANY Slot 408, status Allocated, element number 1433, barcode not present, barcode value <>, devT=LTO, mediaT=417, elemT=ANY When I log onto the 3584 library web console and display data cartridges I cannot locate those elements or verify that there are tapes really at those locations. If I run a library Audit it fails with a tape device error as it is apparently attempting to load those "tapes" to verify the label. However the tape library itself never attempts to mount a tape as I think it knows there aren't any tapes at those locations. How can I fix this issue? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a) In the 3584 web interface, run an INVENTORY (not with audit) against all frames. That will cause the library to rescan the barcodes. The library's 3584 on-board inventory will then be correct. b) In TSM, run: audit library yourlibnamehere checklabel=barcode That causes TSM to upload the inventory from the 3584, so its inventory will match the 3584's, without loading the tapes to read the internal label. - the TSM audit will not run if there are other tape processes running -any tapes that were checked in to TSM but are not actually in the library will be automatically checked out -tapes that are in the library but are not checked in to TSM will NOT automatically be checked in, so you may also need: 1) checkin libv yourlibnamehere search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode wait=0 2) checkin libv yourlibnamehere search=yes status=private checklabel=barcode wait=0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W
