If you performed a TSM restart, examine the Activity Log around that time, as TSM should perform a full inquiry of the library then, and you will see detailed results, and any problems, in the logging. This is healthy to check, regardless of anything else. And, as always, fully check out new equi

We recently had a set of three LTO3 tapes fail out of an order of 60 (or, at least three, since we haven't gone through the entire order yet). Are there statistics out there for how frequent this is? Does anyone mitigate this by ordering from multiple vendors to guarantee that you don't get a singl

Last use columns will reamin blank in this case until the volume is actually used for something. The TSM database still contains all the information as to scratch, non-scratch data, and non-scratch dbbackup volumes. Forcing a LABEL LIBV command on the tapes will wipe out all the data that they

Does anyone know what the select command would be to return a list of the volumes currently mounted and the status. I can get the mounted volumes with "select volume_name from drives" but that does not tell me if it is idle or in use like the q mo command tells me. Thanks, Jeremy
