The TS3310 library can give you an CSV file with all data is has on the tapes in the library. I don't know if if works with other libraries. You can use the web gui, but also a 'wget' command like this: wget http:///download_mount_history.htm Kind regards/Cordialement/Mit freundlichen

You can use the IBM ITDT utility - the "U" command (as documented in "IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide") The Tape Usage [U] function retrieves statistical data and error counters from a cartridge Thank You, Neil Strand www.cassevern.com 6201 Chevy Chase Drive, Laurel, MD

Not really the full content of the tape chip, but from the TS3500 web GUI, you can select cartridges, data cartridges, download mount history.csv. This will give you mounts, MB reads and writes, error counts etc. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

I use the following select statement in a server script for figuring out this kind of information (was more useful in 5.5 and earlier when the REMARKS field had nice descriptions for each field, too): select colname from columns where tabname=upper('$1') In this case: tsm: SERVER>run

Charles, Note that this number may not mean what you expect it to. The help for "query volume" notes that this value is the number of times the server opened the volume, which may be more than once per physical mount. Also, if you use scratch tapes, I'm pretty sure that the value gets discarded

IIRC, LTO cartridges are rated in the hundreds of thousands of passes and tens of thousands of mounts (you need multiple passes to fill a volume, depending on the LTO generation). This means in practice you will never hit the "rated" maximum of the cartridge. Instead, you will hit problems caused

Paul, You are right. All of my data is in primary storage pools so I no longer worry about copy pools. Back when I had copy pools, my storage pool names would indicate whether it was primary or copy pool. Can you mask on pool name to distinguish between primary and copy pool? If so,
