All, I have a weird situation taking place. I believe there are two distinct issues but they might be related. A gripper issue caused a few tapes to be mishandled and dropped into the library. I ended up checking them out but cannot fix these issues:
When I run a "show slots 3584lib" there are two anomalies: Slot 330, status Allocated, element number 1355, barcode not present, barcode value <>, devT=ANY, mediaT=-1, elemT=ANY Slot 408, status Allocated, element number 1433, barcode not present, barcode value <>, devT=LTO, mediaT=417, elemT=ANY When I log onto the 3584 library web console and display data cartridges I cannot locate those elements or verify that there are tapes really at those locations. If I run a library Audit it fails with a tape device error as it is apparently attempting to load those "tapes" to verify the label. However the tape library itself never attempts to mount a tape as I think it knows there aren't any tapes at those locations. How can I fix this issue? Additionally - I need to check a few tapes into the library that were accidentally checked out. When I check them in it appears to go smoothly: Server Message Time Message Number Message MCTSM02 5/4/2011 3:12:17 PM ANR8427I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME for volume 003396L3 in library 3584LIB completed successfully. Checking the www console I see that the tape has been checked in and is located at element 1094. On the TSM side when I do a show slots this is what appears: Slot 69, status Allocated, element number 1094, barcode not present, barcode value <>, devT=LTO, mediaT=417, elemT=ANY Anyone have a way to fix these issues? Thanks! Bob
