how to update the tivoli library with current volumes
What is the command to have the library rescan it's contents? I add tapes, run q libv and it displays outdated information.

Well the problem is that we run the "checkin libv" command with the waittime=0 so it does it now... it says that it is processing... a min later, it goes away. When I run q act search=checkin, I see that it processed, but it doesn't find any tapes. Any ideas?
tsm: WYOMING>checkin libv lib01 search=yes vollist=b00007l2 status=scratch checkl=barcode waittime=0
ANS8003I Process number 328 started.

So the tapes are not yet known to your library hardware!
Try AUDIT LIBRARY libraryname as said above.
What kind of library is it? Do you have to run special procedures to insert tapes?

well when I try to run the audit library command... it doesn't do anything.
it's an IBM ULT3583-TL library
from what i understand, we just have to run the checkin command to checkin the tapes.
Here is a snippet from the q libv
I just ran the checkin command for the b00007l2 tape.

Hello, also verify if you TAPES are present in the HW library inventory, if there are missing you dont' have a chance to get it in TSM.

what do you mean with 'add tapes?
Inserting them into the library is not enough, you need to run 'checkin libvolume ...' or 'label libvolume ...' to make them known to TSM.
Btw. the command you requested is 'AUDIT LIBRARY libraryname' - doesn't work on all library types, however.
And it doesn't replace the checkin... or label... comands. You need to run them anyway.
