Error description
The tape volume may be unexpectedly checked in as the empty volume label by the following scenario. 1. Configure the automated library A as Library Managed Encryption (LME). 2. Do LABEL LIBVOLUME the tape volume in the library A. 3. Move the tape volume to another automated library B that is also configured as LME but is set the different encryption key from the library A. 4. Do CHECKIN LIBVOLUME the tape volume to the library B After step 4 was done, the tape volume is checked in the volume B, and is displayed as the empty volume label in output of QUERY LIBVOLUME as the following example. --- tsm > query libvolume Library Name: library_name Volume Name: <== Empty volume name is displayed Status: Private Owner: Last Use: Home Element: 1,055 Device Type: LTO Cleanings Left: Media Type: LTO-4 --- The tape volume should not have been checked in since no valid label name was determined due to the incorrect data encryption key. Expected result is that CHECKIN LIBVOLUME ends with FAILURE with ANR8357I message. --- ANR8357I Error reading label of volume from slot-element element address in drive drive name of library library name. --- Tivoli Storage Manager Versions affected: Tivoli Storage Manager Server 6.3.2 on all supported platforms.
