Don't have experience with an MTL, but regularly EXPORT DISCONNECT the TCDB (i.e., SYS1.VOLCAT.VGENERAL, etc.) when moving from systems with an ATL to no ATL.

Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 8:28 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: manual tape library question All, We just moved our mainframe to an LPAR on a different mainframe with completely different hardware. As part of the migration, I had to build a second manual tape library with different characteristics than the one I was using locally. My "old" library did not make the trip and now I need to remove the tapes and library from the configuration at the new site. My question is how do I remove the tapes from the now non-existent tape library? When I try to do a "library eject" command, I get an error saying the library cannot eject the tape: IEFC165I // LI E,100097,P 462 CBR1202I EJECT rejected. Library F1256 cannot eject volume 100095. LI E,100097,P CBR1920I E not scheduled. Command scheduling error. The response of CBR1202I is to bring the library back online and try again. I can't do that because the library doesn't exist. I can't move the tapes out of the MTL that doesn't exist either. A last-ditch thought is to delete the entries out of the OAM tape catalog. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks. Rex BTW, does anybody want to buy a z9-bc or a ts3400 tape library? :-) The information contained in this e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information and is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient.
