I look at the TMS Report to see if the tape is checked out to the vault. But that would not be the same at your site, local standards would apply!

Consult with operations people or tape mgt librarian. They should be able to guide you.

Errrrrrrrrrm, CA7 is a scheduling package. Methinks perhaps you mean CA1.

Talk to your storage people, they usually have the required reportd just sitting there raring to go.

Hello,

If your tape management system is CA-1, yes - you can see the status/location a particular tape volser.

As has been suggested, talk with your tape storage management people.
