This worked! I was able to checkin/checkout 7 of the 12 'missing' volumes (it couldn't find 5 of them). That tells me that they are no longer in the library so now I will request a report from our offsite storage vendor for the remaining tapes. I suspect that they made it there after all.
Thank you very much for you help Wanda. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wanda Prather Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 8:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Removing volumes that TSM doesn't see The quick and dirty is to do as you suggested below: Run a checkin with SEARCH=YES STATUS=PRIVATE; then run a checkout for each volume with REMOVE=YES. It's OK to do that. It won't change the TSM volume status (you can display before and after status with Q VOL xxxxxx F=D for stgpool volumes, status should be OFFSITE), or the DRM status (you can display before and after with Q DRM xxxxxx, status should probably be VAULT). Kudos to you for filling in!
