Hello Alex, Did you label volume ITG001 yet? If it has not been labeled, you should not use the checkin libvol command. Try the label libvol instead..
label libvol LB6.0.0.3 search=yes labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch The server will then find the volumes that have not been checked into the library inventory and label them using barcode for volume names. With checkin=scratch, the server will check in these volumes in the inventory after labelling them. For the checkin libvol problem that you had, did you insert the volume already labelled as ITG001 in slot number 448 before replying? If you didn't put any volume in slot 448, you will get source empty when the library tries to move a tape from slot 448 to drive for labeling. Regards, Hunny Alexander Lazarevich To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: C.EDU> Subject: media labeling - library not configured? Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 06/27/2003 02:08 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We are setting up the following new equipment: TSM 5.1 running on Windows 2000 Server (SP4). The server version is 5.1.6.5127. The server runs just fine. We also have a tape library attached: Overland Storage Neo 4100, with 2 X LTO-2 (HP) drives, and 31 Maxell Ultrium 2 200GB native tapes. The tapes have the barcodes on them and are in the library. The tsmscsi version is 5.1.6.5126. The library and drive devices are recognized by TSM just fine, as those devices show up in the device configuration wizard. However, I am unable to label or check in any tapes into the library storage pool. When I get to the TSM media labeling for auto changer wizard, it does not label or check in the volumes. It sees the volumes just fine, and is getting the barcode label just fine, because it's listing all the tapes and barcodes. But when I select the "Label Now" button, it very quickly says it's done, and the library has not moved a single tape into the drive to label it. I hit okay and it does not prompt to check in and tapes, so it must not have been able to label them. I run the wizard again and it has no label next to the barcode. So the wizard is unable to label or check in the tapes. I also tried doing it via command line: - ANR2017I Administrator ****** issued command: CHECKIN LIBVOLUME LB6.0.0.3 ITG001 STATUS=PRIVATE CHECKLABEL=YES SWAP=NO MOUNTWAIT=60 SEARCH=NO - ANR0984I Process 5 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 15:14:23. - ANR8422I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Operation for library LB6.0.0.3 started as process 5. - ANR0609I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME started as process 5. - ANR8306I 002: Insert LTO volume ITG001 R/W into the slot with element number 448 of library LB6.0.0.3 within 60 minutes; issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready. I then do a 'reply 002' and I get the following result: - ANR2017I Administrator ****** issued command: REPLY 002 - ANR8499I Command accepted. - ANR8300E I/O error on library LB6.0.0.3 (OP=8401C058, CC=314, KEY=05, ASC=3B, ASCQ=0E,SENSE=70.00.05.00.00.00.00.14.00.00.00.00.3B. 0E.00.C0.00.04.00.00., Description=The source slot or drive was empty in an attempt to move a volume). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. - ANR8942E Could not move volume ITG001 from slot-element 448 to slot-element 481. - ANR8841I Remove volume from slot 448 of library LB6.0.0.3 at your convenience. - ANR8426E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME for volume ITG001 in library LB6.0.0.3 failed. - ANR0985I Process 5 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 15:30:09. The tape is in the library, and nothing is in slot-element 481, which is the 2nd drive in the library. The Appendix D in the Messages manuals is all about AIX stuff, and it doesn't help at all. I assume the above doesn't work because TSM needs to first run an audit of the library and see what all the tapes are in the library. So then I tried an audit of the library: - ANR2017I Administrator ****** issued command: AUDIT LIBRARY LB6.0.0.3 CHECKLABEL=YES - ANR0984I Process 6 for AUDIT LIBRARY started in the BACKGROUND at 15:56:41. - ANR8457I AUDIT LIBRARY: Operation for library LB6.0.0.3 started as process 6. - ANR0609I AUDIT LIBRARY started as process 6. - ANR8461I AUDIT LIBRARY process for library LB6.0.0.3 completed successfully. - ANR0985I Process 6 for AUDIT LIBRARY running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 15:56:41. But this changes nothing. The audit takes less than a second, and the library doesn't do anything during that time. I run the label and checking commands again and the same problem exists: TSM can't label or check in any tapes. So how do I get TSM to see the tapes in the library? Any one have any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
