To media from one state to another.

move drmedia tapeNumber wherest=mount tostate=notmo

move drmedia tapeNumber wherest=notmo tostate=vault

move drmedia tapeNumber wherest=vault tostate=onsiter

To get a list of tapes going out to offsite.

>select volume_name, state, voltype, stgpool_name from drmedia where state='VAULT' and date(upd_date)>(current_date -2 day)

note

If you run “q drmedia” on each of these tapes, they show up as “VAULT RETRIEVE”.

Here is what to do

Review “checkin.sh” script.

Then run

>move drm VOLUME_NUMBER  tostate=onsiter

on each, then put them into library. 

Next time Operations runs “checkin1.sh” script, they become scratch tapes.

To see the log for a certain node.

Server command:

> 'select domain_name, node_name, date(lastacc_time) as LASTACC_DATE, time(lastacc_time) as LASTACC_TIME from nodes where lastacc_time < timestamp(current date - 7 day,'00:00:00') order by lastacc_date, domain_name, node_name`

Damaged file on a tape

You need to run the 'Audit Volume' command with fix=yes parameter. This will delete the file that is damaged from the TSM database

>audit volume <volumeName> fix=yes

To restore files from damaged volume(tape) run restore volume or restore STGpool command.

>restore volume <volumename>

>restore stg <storagePoolname>

.

>checkout libvol <library_name> <volume_name> checkl=no

>checkin libvol <library_name> <volume_name> status=private owner=<tape owner>

To import data from another TSM server.

register the node in TSM server, place the tape into the Library then run "checkin" command on the tape.

checkin libv <library_name> <tape> status=private checklabel=yes

Ex: >checkin libv MLIB01 P1049L3 status=private checklabel=yes
