Quick answer. User the "query media" and "move media" commands.
Query can show you in order, how long tapes have not been used. Move media then allows you to move (er checkout) tapes that haven't been accessed in a certain number of days. If one of these tapes is later needed, TSM will prompt for it. David B.

Please forgive my naive question...... We are running out of slots in our library and I have examined some of the tapes and have found that some of them haven't been read for 1 1/2 years and some haven't been written to in 3 or 4 years. Can I eject these tapes and store them in a rack? I tried 5 of them and used the following commands: update volume <vol> loc=shelf checkout libv <lib> <vol> checkl=no rem=b Is this kosher? Thanks!
