Muthy,
When you moved the tape in the library, did you do it manually or by the
library's control panel or web interface? For a 3494, TSM audit only asks
the library for a download of its own information. So, if the library
doesn't know, TSM can't know.
You may have to physically remove the tape

That is a great post from you, and yes ISC is Version 1 and will improve

The correct procedure for a 3494 is to place any tape moved in this way into
the recovery slot, which is the top left slot of the library manager frame.
If you watch the robot, this slot is always the first one checked when the

It sounds like your management is attempting to impose a standard derived

What they want, as I read it, is an assurance that they know what is on any

need an offsite
I've gotta ask Geoff,
Why, with a 3494 and LTO library would you move TSM to LTO? My first option
would be to move veritas to the 3494.

application environments. Use 3592 drives and you'll have capacity to burn.

TSM will always choose the node with the most data to migrate first, and

a library management client to your main TSM server and back up itself and
