Should the TSM Server record something in the activity log when the tape is ejected or inserted in the tape drive?
>>Even with a tape into the tape drive the "q mount" returns: >> >>ANR2034E QUERY MOUNT: No match found using this criteria. > > This indicates that TSM doesn't know about the tape in the drive, > suggesting that either it didn't put it there (as in independent > action by an operator) or that it thought that an action like a > dismount actually occurred but really didn't, due to a drive problem. > Look back in your TSM Activity Log for the volume name which you found > in the drive and see what transpired then; or the last action TSM knows > it performed on that drive. Look for device errors in your OS error > log. You may need the drive serviced, or have its microcode updated > so that it behaves better. > > In the mean time, get that tape out of the drive and return it to its > storage cell so that it can be properly used in upcoming operations. > You may need to update the volume's status in TSM to make it available > for use, as the library may have flagged it as misplaced. > > Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs > -------------------------------------------- Reimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.quicksoft.com.br Fone: (47) 231-6500 - Fax: (47) 231-6515
