Hello. Yes I have one tape as described below.
Private with no last use. And does not show up with a q drm.
What's the command to re-label the tape?

q libv LIBRARY
will show all of the tapes in the library. If your tape pools use tapes from
scratch then look for a tape that is private with no last use. These are
sometimes orphaned tapes. You can verify if they are orphaned by q vol and
searching q drm for the tape.
When I find an orphan I re-label the tape, but be careful, an error can delete
data.

Hello. hhmmm. I tried status=private. Results were the same.
I tried:
label libv xx search=yes checkin=scratch labels=b volr=A00560L5,A00561L5
same results.
Also, the maxscr on all our copy pools are fine. (difference of allowed and
used is plenty)
I have tried status=bulk in the past, on a tape I had issues with earlier in
the year, but that tape is just sitting in the library and no backup process
has ever used it. So I'm hesitant to use 'bulk'.

Below is the command I use on my virtual L180 libraries which are SCSI
libraries.
I think the difference is the volume range.
I do not know the library you have, but some libraries are partitioned and you
have to make sure the tapes are assigned to the correct partition.

Hello. We are using TSM manager 6.3.3.0.
Tape Library is a DS3512.
I'm trying to check in some brand new tapes (LTO Ultrium 1.5TB).
On the DS3512, I choos the library and insert the tape into the machine.
On the command line I use this command:
label libv xx search=yes checkin=scratch labels=b overwrite=y
My output is this:
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL LIBVOLUME search=yes
checkin=scratch labels=b overwrite=y ANR0984I Process 120 for LABEL LIBVOLUME
started in the BACKGROUND at 09:29:14.

ANR8801I LABEL LIBVOLUME process 120 for library XX completed; 0 volume(s)
labeled, 0 volume(s) checked-in.
ANR0985I Process 120 for LABEL LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed
with completion state SUCCESS at 09:29:19.
0 volumes, but finished successfully and when I query the library XX, the
new tape does not show in the list.
I have also tried this command:
CHECKIN LIBVOLUME xx SEARCH=YES CHECKLABEL=YES status=scratch WAITTIME=0
VOLLIST=A00L5.
Results are the same.
I have also tried putting the tapes on the door of the machine and not doing
the 'insert media'...again results on the same.
We just received 30 new tapes last week and I've tried about 10 of them so far.
I have used the cleaning tape and did the clean process and also rebooted the
DS3512.same results afterwards.
Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: checkin libv command
If the maxscratch was incorrect surely the activity log would indicate that on the output. Can the library through the library GUI see the barcodes of the tapes, could be the cartridge assignment policy is not adapted to enable this barcode range or the barcode labels are wrong, we have had labels which are 'too shiny' and the robot didn't like them?? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeanne Bruno Sent: 23 December 2014 16:37 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command Hello. hhmmm.

Re: checkin libv command
Previously stated in the email. (I typed status=bulk...but meant search=bulk) I have tried search=bulk in the past, on a tape I had issues with earlier in the year, but that tape is just sitting in the library and no backup process has ever used it.

Re: checkin libv command
As an option you can use the search=bulk, and the troublesome tape once checked into the library can be updated with upd v access=unav But your are correct Jeanne, the search=yes should have picked them up since you inserted them into the library.

Re: checkin libv command
You could first try updating the status to scratch. It could be that the volume had a mount or write failure. That could be due to media error or tape drive error. If the tape is unlabeled or damaged it will fail again when you try to checkout or checkin. update libvol library_name volser status=scratch After that, as a test try checking the tape out (or in) with checklabel=yes to force it to read the internal label.

Re: checkin libv command
If the tape in question A00025L5 is part of your offsite pool, it just needs to be checked out of the library and sent offsite until ready to come back. If that tape is part of an internal pool. You need to check it back into the library as private. checkin libv search=y status=private checkl=b waitt=0 voll=A00025L5 DRM is a good check. Making sure you query drm based on how you did the move drm. i.e (q drm volume_name or q drm volume_name s=dbs) It is still not clear why checking/labeling new tapes is not working for you, are the new tape labels a continued extension of the existing labels? Is there a defined label range defined for the library (i.e logical library defined with range A0L5-A000305L5) Hope that helps On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 1:02 PM, Jeanne Bruno jbr...@cenhud.com wrote: I think that worked.

Re: checkin libv command
It's telling me Vol A00025L5 is already present in library x. I don't believe there is a label range. I've looked on the devc and stgpool. Where can I look to see if there's a range defined? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Nick Marouf Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 3:22 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command If the tape in question A00025L5 is part of your offsite pool, it just needs to be checked out of the library and sent offsite until ready to come back. If that tape is part of an internal pool. You need to check it back into the library as private. checkin libv search=y status=private checkl=b waitt=0 voll=A00025L5 DRM is a good check. Making sure you query drm based on how you did the move drm. i.e (q drm volume_name or q drm volume_name s=dbs) It is still not clear why checking/labeling new tapes is not working for you, are the new tape labels a continued extension of the existing labels?

Re: checkin libv command
That tape may need to be checked in as private so it can continue to be used. I would not re-label that tape. I may be wrong, but I think DRM would only list the tape if it has moved offsite. You may also need to run an audit on the library. Be sure there are not any tapes mounted when you run the audit. audit libr checklabel=Barcode Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeanne Bruno Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 2:02 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] checkin libv command I think that worked.
