Frequent submitter, and all-around great guy, Mark Stapleton helped with this. (though he DOES still owe me a mug!)
We do this from within an AIX Korn-shell script. This is basics of the logic: ----------------------------------- # get a list of copypool tapes that are NOT offsite dsmadmc -id admin -pass=$TSMPWD "select volume_name from volumes where stgpool_name-='COPYPOOL' and access <>'OFFSITE' "| sed '1,2d | grep -c "^ *$" | grep -v AND[0-9] > $CHECKOUTLIST # get a list of the DBB tapes dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "select volume_name from volhistory where type='BACKUPFULL'" | sed '1,2d' | grep -v "^ *$" | grep -v ANS[0-9] > $TMPDBLIST # compare the backup tapes to that currently known to be offsite # to find the onsite DBB cat $PHYSICALVAULTLIST | while read VOL_LABEL; do VAL=$VAL$VOL_LABEL\| done VAL=$VAL"garbage" egrep -v $VAL $TMPDBLIST >> $CHECKOUTLIST # change the status of the ones to be checked out and ccheck 'em out cat $CHECKOUTLIST | while read VOL_LABEL; do dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "upd vol $VOL_LABEL access=offsite" > $CHECKOUTLOG 2> &1 dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "checkout libv <your lib> $VOL_LABEL checklabel=no remove=bulk" >> $CHECKOUTLOG 2>&1 done -------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Etienne Brodeur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 2:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Script to CHECKOUT multiples tapes on SCSI library But If I do what you suggest it would also checkout the tapes for my onsite copies that are full right? I am looking for a way to check out multiples tapes with one command (running a script would be my guess) to take a list of predetermined tapes out of a LTO 3583. I want to be able to check out the OFFSITE tapes that are full and filling and the daily DB backup that is in the OFF devclass. Is ther a script that will allow me to identify them and then create a macro file that could be run from to check them out one by one with REMOVE=BULK?\ If anyone has this would you mind sharing?

Yes. Issue "MOVE MEDIA * STG=* wherestatus=full", f.e. This will check all full tapes from your library out.
