This probably doesn't answer your question but if you want to update ALL volumes that are unavailable just do: Update volume * access=readwrite where access=unavailable.

Currently, I am using the command line to access the TSM server thru my workstation. What I want to do is write a script for instance, "q vol * access=unavailable" which an operator could type one command and get results of which vols need to be updated. Then that output file would be the input for the "upd vol [volname] access=readwrite". If anyone has written that or knows where I can go to find out that info, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Ron Lochhead
