We have IBM 3494 tape library, shared into multiple logical library. Then into on physical library, it's possible to move K7 from one logical library belonging to the first TSM server, to another logical library from second TSM server:
First in the source library, look for scratch tapes:
tsm: TSM2>q libv lib3592 Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Device Element Type ------------ ----------- ---------------- ---------- --------- ------- ------ LIB3592 501036 Private TSM2 DbBackup LIB3592 501052 Private TSM2 Data LIB3592 501087 Private TSM2 Data LIB3592 501093 Private TSM2 DbBackup LIB3592 501106 Scratch LIB3592 501109 Private TSM2 LIB3592 501152 Private TSM2 Data LIB3592 501170 Scratch LIB3592 501216 Scratch LIB3592 501217 Scratch
On the source TSM server, checkout the scratch volume from logical library LIB3592:
TSM2> checkout libv LIB3592 501217 remove=no
On the target TSM server, checkin the scratch volume into the same physical library, but in the logical LIB3592R:
TSM1 > checkin libv LIB3592R 501217 checkl=no status=scratch
Here is an exmple
del volh todate=today tot=now type=backupset volume=177ads force=yes
