I have ran many many auditdb's and it has never once asked me to insert a volume so that it can compare that info with the database. I belive it will not volumes to compare information. If that was the case then IBM would allow for more information on this subject like..."Be sure you have every volume ever written to available incase the auditdb asks for it." The audit doesn't actually audit volumes to compare against the database, that is what AUDIT VOLUME is for.
Thanks Robert Rippy From: Mario Behring <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 12/22/2002 07:16 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: auditdb question Hi list, I am under the impression that a "dsmserv auditdb fix=yes logmode=normal detail=yes" will not only fix inconsistencies in the TSM database but will also ask for volumes to compare information from the physical tapes with the database. Is this correct ? The environment is TSM Server 5.1 runnig on a W2K box and a SCSI tape library, an IBM 3590 with two drives and 10 slots each. So, if the TSM Server asks for a tape that is not in one of the twenty slots, an operator will insert it into the proper slot. I have several volume tapes that does not exists anymore and have a destroyed status and cannot be deleted (error ANR0104E) and no audit have been performed in the database for three years. Please give some advise on this matter. Thank you. Mario Behring IT Consultant 55 11 9540-8383 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
