mtlib command
Does anyone know the mtlib command to clear erroneous volumes from inventory. These volumes were in the library but have been checked out. We use a 3494 library. thanks Tommy Templeton
mtlib command
Good day all, Somewhere I had documented an mtlib command that could be used to query information about the drives attached to the system. With the changeover of TSM servers it's hard to figure out what drive is what. I have identified a few by looking in the side door of the 3494 when a tape got mounted. Unfortunately I'll never be able to do this with the rest and have misplaced my mtlib commands. Can anyone send me the command gives info about the drive itself, as in serial number, so I can match rmt(whatever) to it. All I can find is mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qD -f/dev/rmt6, and this one doesn't do it for me. I've got a bad drive and need to locate it this way.

Re: mtlib command
I would use lscfg -v and find your serial number that way.

Re: mtlib command
For serial numbers I use:
#!/bin/sh
for i in `lsdev -Cc tape | grep rmt | awk '{print $1}'`
do
serial=`lscfg -l $i -v | grep "Serial Number" | awk -F. '{print $16}'`

question on MTLIB command...
Hi all, I was under the impression I could use the following MTLIB command to see what volume is mounted in a drive mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -f /dev/rmt# -qD but when i try to use the command on a drive that i know has a volume mounted, i get the following error message... # mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -f /dev/rmt7 -qD mtlib: Unable to open device special file /dev/rmt7 (errno = 11): Resource temporarily unavailable what is the point of querying the drive if you can't query the drive when it has a volume in it? thanks, scott

Standard Unix permissions thing: Check the account under which you tried the command against the /dev/rmt* permissions settings; adjust settings if appropriate, else invoke from an account with has the needed group affiliation, or as superuser.

Re: Re: question on MTLIB command...
Actually, the "Resource temporarily unavailable" error is because TSM is actively using the drive at the time. If you look at current tape mounts within TSM, you'd see that drive has a volume mounted and "IN USE". When it shows "IDLE" in TSM, the "mtlib -qD" command works as expected. (The "#" prompt in the original post implies he was already root, too, so permissions wouldn't be a factor anyway.) As Patricia posted, "mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qM" will show mounted vols, but you'll need to cross-reference the drive serial numbers (second column in the output) with some other source (on AIX, "lscfg" will do) to map them to /dev/rmt# filenames. =Dave Richard Sims wrote: > > Standard Unix permissions thing: Check the account under which you tried > the command against the /dev/rmt* permissions settings; adjust settings > if appropriate, else invoke from an account with has the needed group > affiliation, or as superuser. > > Richard Sims > > On Nov 10, 2005, at 2:38 PM, Patterson, Scott wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > I was under the impression I could use the following MTLIB command to > > see what volume is mounted in a drive > > > > mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -f /dev/rmt# -qD > > > > but when i try to use the command on a drive that i know has a volume > > mounted, i get the following error message... > > > > # mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -f /dev/rmt7 -qD > > mtlib: Unable to open device special file /dev/rmt7 (errno = 11): > > Resource temporarily unavailable > > > > what is the point of querying the drive if you can't query the drive > > when it has a volume in it? > > > > thanks, > > > > scott > -- Hello World.David Bronder - Systems Admin Segmentation Fault ITS-SPA, Univ. of Iowa Core dumped, disk trashed, quota filled, soda warm.

Average Mounts with mtlib command or select statement?
TSMers, I have a 3494 library and need to compile information on number of mounts the library has done. It doesn't have to be any certain drives or volumes. A total would work or if it could be broken down to specifics. Is there a mtlib command or select statement that anyone knows of that I could use? Any help would be thankful
Re: Average Mounts with mtlib command or select statement?
mtlib -l libname -q S should give you the stats that you want for the total library. bob On Fri, May 24, 2002 at 12:03:10PM -0400, Alfred G Welch wrote: > TSMers, > I have a 3494 library and need to compile information on > number of mounts the library has done.

Re: Average Mounts with mtlib command or select statement?
Here's a sample SELECT statement that will show you the type of data you can get from the SUMMARY table. You can modify it to include END times as well as start times, or limit it to the past 24 hours, etc. If you want to do any detailed analysis, I would run it in -commadelimited mode and save the data into a file, then do the stats with a spreadsheet. select date(start_time) as date, time(start_time) as time, char(library_name,12) as "Lib", char(drive_name,20) as "Drive", char(volume_name,8) as "Vol", char(successful,5) as "OK" from summary where activity='TAPE MOUNT' -Original Message- From: Alfred G Welch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 12:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Average Mounts with mtlib command or select statement?
