So for a variety of reasons, we had accumulated some 45 tapes that had found ways to get out of Valid status. I've cleaned up most of them, but I'm stuck on a few corner cases.
Case 1:
l% tfsee info tapes | sort | grep -C 1 'Not Sup'
AV0186JD Valid TS1150(J5) 9022 0 56
vbi_tapes VTC 1148 -
AV0187JD Not Supported TS1150(J5) 9022 2179 37
vbi_tapes VTC 1149 -
AV0188JD Valid TS1150(J5) 9022 1559 67
vbi_tapes VTC 1150 -
--
AV0540JD Valid TS1150(J5) 9022 9022 0
vtti_tapes VTC 1607 -
AV0541JD Not Supported TS1150(J5) 9022 1797 6
vtti_tapes VTC 1606 -
AV0542JD Valid TS1150(J5) 9022 9022 0
vtti_tapes VTC 1605 -
How the heck does *that* happen? And how do you fix it?
Case 2: The docs say that for 'Invalid', you need to add it to the pool with -c.
% ltfsee pool remove -p arc_tapes -l ISB -t AI0084JD; ltfsee pool add -c -p
arc_tapes -l ISB -t AI0084JD
GLESL043I(01052): Removing tape AI0084JD from storage pool arc_tapes.
GLESL041E(01129): Tape AI0084JD does not exist in storage pool arc_tapes or is
in an invalid state. Specify a valid tape ID.
GLESL042I(00809): Adding tape AI0084JD to storage pool arc_tapes.
(Not sure why the last 2 messages got out of order..)
% ltfsee info tapes | grep AI0084JD
AI0084JD Invalid LTFS TS1150 0 0 0 -
ISB 1262 -
What do you do if adding it with -c doesn't work? Time to reformat the tape?
