What category were the volumes in from the 3494? >>>The same definition was retained for the DR server I was trying to use. (see below). Initially a 'q libvol' would show volumes for the library, >>>then they would disappear. I'm not certain but it may be at the point the lib defs were deleted, then redefined. If you set the categories manually, it would still be the case that the TSM server might not know they are there. >>> I'm not certain what you mean by this I'm not sure wether an 'AUDIT LIBRARY' or a 'CHECKIN LIBVOLUMES' would do this job faster. It's really an all-at-once alert the TSM server that it's got a bunch of new volumes thing... >>> I tried an audit library and a checkin libv but it did not add volumes >>> I've decided to logically rename the devices for the library so they match the devices as they are on the production server, e.g., rmt2. rmt3,rmt4,rmt5 for libB. Then there should not be a need to delete and redefine the drives since they would match the existing ones in the DB when the server comes up. - Allen S.
