I'm trying to check in brand new tapes in our TS3310 tape library. I had a total of 5 brand new tapes, so I put them in the library and did the 'insert media'. Then typed the server command: LABEL LIBV TSMxyz SEARCH=YES CHECKIN=SCRATCH LABELS=B OVERWRITE=Y This resulted in only two of the tapes being checked in: ANR8810I Volume A00xxx1L5 has been labeled in library TSMxyz. ANR8810I Volume A00xxx2L5 has been labeled in library TSMxyz. So for the other three, I tried: CHECKIN LIBVOLUME TSMxyz SEARCH=YES VOLLIST=A00xxx3L5,A00xxx4L5,A00xxx5L5 STATUS=SCRATCH CHECKLABEL=BARCODE Which resulted in: ANR0984I Process 535 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 16:29:09. ANR8422I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Operation for library TSMxyz started as process 535. ANR8431I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME process completed for library TSMxyz; 0 volume(s) found. ANR0985I Process 535 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 16:29:13. So then I tried one tape at a time: CHECKIN LIBVOLUME TSMxyz SEARCH=YES CHECKLABEL=YES STATUS=SCRATCH VOLLIST=A00xxx3L5 Resulted in same: 0 volumes found but complete state of success. We are at server version 6.3. Anyone got any ideas as to why the checkin is not finding the tapes?? ____________________ Jeannie Bruno Senior Systems Analyst jbr...@cenhud.com<mailto:jbr...@cenhud.com> Central Hudson Gas & Electric (845) 486-5780
