040AKK OFFDATA COFFSITE 0.0 0.0 Empty 041AKK OFFDIRS COFFSITE 0.0 0.0 Empty We recommend that you keep a record of these volumes for tracking purposes and use it as a shipping list for your off-site location. The tape volumes should now be moved from the off-site location to your on-site location. Updating volume locations to on-site When the previously identified tape volumes have been returned on-site, you must update the location and access mode so that the volume can be reused. In the next example, both volumes are deleted from the storage pool location and are now considered scratch volumes, as shown in Example 13-40.

When a volume is checked in, the server adds the volume to its library volume inventory. You can use the label libvolume command to check in and label volumes in one operation. When you check in a volume, you must supply the name of the library and the status of the volume (private or scratch). Do not mix volumes with barcode labels and volumes without barcode labels in a library device because barcode scanning can take a long time for unlabeled volumes. Use the checklabel=yes (not NO or BARCODE) option on the checkin libvolume command when checking VolSafe volumes into a library. This is true for both ACSLS and SCSI libraries. 440 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
