Just run the following command after doing a checkin or label libvolume command:
"Q REQUEST" This will show any pending requests and their ids. Then do the following command: "REPLY XXX" where XXX is the request ID.

Hello everyone, I have a new EMC CDL 4400. I am emulating an IBM 3584 with LTO2 tape drives. I have defined the following to TSM: Define cdl library: define library cdlb_dev libtype=scsi shared=no Define path to the cdl library: define path tsmdev cdlb_dev srctype=server desttype=library device=/dev/smc0 Define tape drives: define drive cdlb_dev lto2-28 (I have defined drive 28 - 67) Define tape paths for drives lto2-28 - lto2-67: define path tsmdev lto2-28 srctype=server desttype=drive library=cdlb_dev device=/dev/rmt28 Define device class for library: define devclass lto2_cdlb library=cdlb_dev devtype=lto format=ultrium2 mountlimit=drives I then tried to label a tape in the cdlb_dev library with: label libvol cdlb_dev db0000 checkin=scratch and I am seeing the following in the activity log: Date/Time Message -------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- 06/11/07 15:03:14 ANR0984I Process 820 for LABEL LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 15:03:14.

(SESSION: 253882, PROCESS: 820) 06/11/07 15:03:14 ANR8439I SCSI library CDLB_DEV is ready for operations. (SESSION: 253882, PROCESS: 820) 06/11/07 15:03:14 ANR8323I 001: Insert ANY volume DB0000 R/W into entry/exit port of library CDLB_DEV within 60 minute(s); issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready. (SESSION: 253882, PROCESS: 820) It looks like it is waiting for a reply, but why would I have to do this myself? Shouldn't this be done automatically through the library? I am not familiar with IBM libraries so I think I'm at a loss here. If anyone has any suggestions/comments please let me know. Thanks! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems, Storage Mngt Analyst III Phone Number: (717)302-9966 Fax: (717) 302-9826 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
