Joni, It doesn't look like your drives/paths are defined correctly. The library is trying to move the volume from a slot 4096 to slot-element 65535. In my experience, when I see slot element 65535, it usually points to either the drives, paths to drives not being defined correctly.
A couple of questions: 1) what's the OS? 2) what do your drives / paths to drives look like 3) what does the output of a show slot look like, at least for the drives 4) have you tried the IBM tape diagnostic tool to identify the correct element numbers for your drives / mt mapping? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Moyer, Joni M Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 11:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Label volumes in a scsi library?

How did tape Q00000 get into the library? Did you manually load a batch of tapes in this library without checking them in thru the bulk I/O? If that is the case, you can just checkin the tapes. You can try: Check in volumes that are already labeled: checkin libvolume NAS_QI6000 search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Moyer, Joni M Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 8:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Label volumes in a scsi library? Hi Everyone, I was trying to label a volume in a scsi library and I used the label libvol command to try and label Q00000 in the library NAS_QI6000 and it is failing. The tape is already physically in a slot in the library, so could someone please explain how I am to label tapes within this library on TSM? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
