Re: Problem is still there with a LTO volume
Give it a try, Ive done this in the past, and on an empty volume, the audit process never requested a mount, but wouldn't start until the tape was updated to readw. If the audit does request a mount, just cancel it. (The cancel process might hang for awhile, because the system is waiting for a mount, but it should eventually time out.) -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jacquelin Bouchard Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 5:13 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Problem is still there with a LTO volume Hi, Is the audit process read the tape, because the volume is really "offsite" in vault ?

Re: Problem is still there with a LTO volume
Hi, Thanks for your help, the problem is solved now; as recommended by Doug and Richard, i run these commands: update vol A00043 access=readw audit volume a00043 fix=yes and now the volume status is "empty".

Have you tried changing the access mode of the tape to readwrite (or even readonly) as Doug recommended yesterday? In the case of a database inconsistency such as this, it is our historic experience that TSM realizes during the audit that the tape is devoid of data, and will not seek mounting of the tape. This is a problem which has been discussed many times on the mailing list. See http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l@vm.marist.edu/ msg67788.html for one such case. Richard Sims

Re: Problem is still there with a LTO volume
If your storage pool: TPCE_BCK_DATA_COPY has "Delay Period for Volume Reuse:" set to a value greater than zero (say 2 days), you will have to wait for 2 days until that volume is deleted by TSM, as per your request. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacquelin Bouchard Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 2:23 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Problem is still there with a LTO volume 1) q vol a00043 f=d Output: Volume Name : A00043 Storage Pool Name : TPCE_BCK_DATA_COPY Device Class Name : LTO2 Estimated Capacity : 381 468 Scaled Capacity Applied : Pct Util : 0,2 Volume Status :Filling Access : Offsite Pct.

This volume is probably the victim of a TSM database inconsistency, where an AUDit Volume will likely be needed to clear its problem. Richard Sims
