Hi Tom, 1) You must checkin the scratch tapes before the private, since performing a private checkin first will cause all of your scratch tapes to have a private status. Therefore do a scratch checkin for your scratch tapes first, then a private checkin for your tapes containing data.
2)Normally if the volume is mounted in a barcode library you are not prompted, but if the volume is not in the library's inventory you will receive a prompt requesting the volume mount. I do believe that you are asked to use the I/O slot.

(3584 SCSI library) It's been a l-o-n-g time since I've done this, I need to get the doc revised this week, and I won't get to test until April. Two questions: 1)After I do the 'audit library <libname> checklabel=barcode' I need to do two checkins; I seem to recall that the order is critical, and that I need to do "checkin libv <libname> search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch" first and then the "checkin libv <libname> search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private" or I end up with no scratch tapes. But this is memory from back in the ADSM 3.1 days . . . 2) When I do the database restore (dsmserv restore db dev=lto vol=<volser> commit=yes) with a library, do I get a prompt to insert the tape in the I/O station and reply, or do I get told to insert the tape in drive x within y minutes?
