Greetings, all.
I'm noodling with tracking down where in my TSM infrastructure a particular drain of tapes is happening. There are several ways I might do this, but the angle I decided to try to work was querying the library manager for when tapes were allocated to library clients, and when they come back. So what I discovered is that -assignments- are memorialized with 'ANR9791I Volume [foo] in library [bar] ownership is changing' messages, but from what I can see the return of a volume is not recorded in the lib manager actlog at all. Now, I can collect the 'ANR1341I Scratch volume [foo] has been deleted' from the library clients, but that's vaguely unsatisfying and depends on access which might be difficult to achieve in some places. So, has anyone else found a satisfying solution to this kind of measurement? - Allen S. Rout
