If so, then you want to use the "move media" command first to move the volumes from a mountablenotinlib state to a mountable state. Then you can check them in with the checkin command. Here is the relevant section from the move media command when you want to check volumes back into the library: MOUNTABLENotinlib Specifies that storage pool volumes are to change from the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state back to the MOUNTABLEINLIB state. Volumes in the MOUNTABLENOTINLIB state may contain valid data and are in the overflow location. For empty scratch volumes, the MOVE MEDIA command deletes the volume records so that they can be used again. For private volumes, the MOVE MEDIA command resets the volume location to blank, changes the volumes's state to CHECKIN, and changes the last update date to the current date. For scratch volumes with data, the MOVE MEDIA command resets the volume location to blank, changes the volumes's state to CHECKIN, and changes the last update date to the current date. Note: Volumes in the CHECKIN state may contain valid data and need to be checked into the library. ______________________________ John Monahan Consultant Infrastructure Solutions Group Computech Resources, Inc., a Logicalis Company Office: 952-833-0930 ext 109 Cell: 952-221-6938 http://www.computechresources.com http://us.logicalis.com Dan Cyr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 10/30/2006 12:42 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject Returning Volumes from Overflow I have been experimenting with using the Overflow location; I have been able to remove the media successfully. I seem to be having problems returning the media back into the library. We are running TSM 5.3.0 on a Win2K3 platform using an IBM4560 SLX. I was able to bring the media back to the library, however it is listed as private and I cannot change to scratch. I get the following message when trying to update the volume "ANR8443E UPDATE LIBVOLUME: Volume LAM004 in library IBM4560 cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH." The other issue is that I can't seem to remove the overflow location tag either, so when I am querying what volumes are out I am getting incorrect responses.
