component indicates Unavailable or * , call your service representative so that it
can be repaired and made available.
Problem Determination Using Search Database for Volumes
Use the Search Database for Volumes window (see Figure 115 on page 194) to
determine whether the 3494 Tape Library contains volumes that some action must
be taken for. To show the window, select the Search database for volumes... option
on the Database menu. You can also use this window to find volumes reported in
a host console message.
For each volume in the library, flags in the database indicate status or an exception
condition. Figure 284 shows a summary of the volume status.
Table 27 on page 457 lists the problem scenarios that the Search Database for
Volumes window can be helpful in resolving.
