Do you mean a 3494 ATL with 3590 tape drives ?
what you can do is
on ATL perform "full inventory update" which makes the atl scan all
volumes and update its internal db
you can then (from the attached aix host) do a "mtlib -l/dev/lmcpx
-qI > somefile" to get a list of internal volumes
then from tsm do a "q vol devc=your3590devc > someotherfile" to get
all the volumes you have
then from tsm do a "q libvol yourlibrary > somethirdfile"
Now just find the diff of someotherfile & somethirdfile to get the list of
volumes that aren't libvols, then validate that against somefile to make
sure they are actually in the atl THEN just issue checkin libvol xxxxx
checklabel=no status=private devt=3590 for each used volume that isn't a
libvolume but is in the library.

Subject: TAPES LOST >>> THEN FOUND, NOW WHAT??
I was looking through some of our logs when I noticed a large chunk of
numbers missing from our volume definitions (we have a 3590 automated
library). I went to the tape robot's console and performed a search for one
of these "missing tapes" and sure enough it found it (I then opened the
door and physically found the tape). Now what do I do to get those tapes
back in the Tivoli library? I've run a checkin libvol search=yes (not the
syntax, but you get the point) and it finished successfully but the tapes
were not found by Tivoli. Need some help here guys.... I don't know what
happened when the tapes originally got here, it was before my time.
Thanks,
Steve
