Re: labeling 3590 volumes
If you try to label a volume if it is defined in volumes table, it will
fail even if you specify overwrite=yes. Under such case you can label it by
using dsmlabel command. Restriction is that you can not use label more that
6 characters long. So if your existing label is longer then you are stuck.
This process is unpredictable and there is no guarantee that you can get
your data back after labeling. So be careful and keep a recovery plan ready
if this trick fails.

have you tried a 'move data' against the volumes?

Already tried that, it fails with ANR8816E - volume is already defined to
the library.
I need some way to bypass the checkin step of the label process..

Subject: labeling 3590 volumes
Is there anyway to overwrite the header/label of a 3590 tape?
One of our ATLs had a problem with some 3590 drives and chewed up the
header
records.
The assumption is that the tape is good, the header records are just bad.
I would restore the volumes from the copypools, but it just so happened
that
the two volumes that got whacked were a primary and the copy of the
primary
--
Anyway, I'm hoping there is a way to get TSM to overwrite the header
records
without destroying the data. If there isn't, we are going to try using
dd
to recreate the headers.
Anybody ever done that successfully?
Re: problem with tape library on solaris
Your devclass definition says device type as LTO where as your drive definition says device type as DLT. The output given by you says your drives are DLT type. Target 1 Unit 0 Removable Tape QUANTUM DLT7000 2560 Target 2 Unit 0 Removable Tape QUANTUM DLT7000 2560 So define a new device class as follows define devc DC.TAPE.LIB_TAPE_2 LIB_TAPE_1 devtype=dlt Direct you data base backup to this device class and database backup should be working. For your storage pool, you need to delete the storage pool and redefine it using this new device class. Then you can delete you old device class.

Re: Reclamation is not happening - HELP!
This slowness can happen when reclamation is done from primary storage pool tapes also. Assume content of the offsite tape is scattered over multiple on site tapes and tape drive has to seek to multiple location on tape to pick up required piece of data can add up to significant tape loading/unloading and tape seek operation. So it is not unusual for an old offsite tape to take long time for reclamation. You should actually allow the reclamation process to finish. If you feel that reclamation process is keeping your tape drives engaged for long, then you can stop reclamation of offsite tapes alltogather and allow the offsite tapes to become empty due to natural expiration process.

Re: Please Help
Could you able to connect to server and take backup say using dsmc command line or GUI? Which version of linux client you are using? There is a issue about null string password while you use passwordaccess generate. You could try to use a different password by changing it at server and trying backup again.
