Joni, Not sure if what you're trying to achieve is the same as I was, but here's what Terry McColgan suggested for me and it works perfectly (thanks again Terry).
Use the move media command: mov med * stg=<yourpoolname> wherestate=mountableinlib wherestatus=full rem=b checkl=n ovflo=TOPDRAWER This command will mark all tapes in the <yourpoolname> as being in the "topdrawer" overflow location, if they meet the criteria specified with "wherestat" and "wherestatus" parameters. It will also auto checkout the tapes to the entry/exit ports, if you don't want that to happen, change the "rem" parameter. If you do a "help move media" at the cmd you'll get the complete details. Hope this helps, it certainly did me :) Iain -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joni Moyer Sent: 04 March 2005 19:45 To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] NDMP tape status Hi Everyone! I am trying to eject the NDMP backup tapes from our library and send them offsite. I tried to update the access of the tapes to offsite, but it won't let me stating that it has to be a copy storage pool volume or a volume with devclass of server. Since I can't do either of these, what is the standard method of sending the tapes offsite and having the TSM server be aware that they are not onsite? Thank you in advance! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
