TSM guru's We are implementing an NSM network storage manager model C01 with a LTO library attached to it. At the moment the NSM has 87 nodes and a total of 16 TB. But we are now experiencing , already after a few months, a lot of troubles with tapes and drives. We seem to have a number of broken LTO tapes which gives a new meaning to the expression losing data because these tape can contain over 100GB !!! Does anyone know why the space reclamation proces hangs on these broken tapes and isn't able to work around them? Is there a way or is this a known problem? message from the actlog: 09/23/01 10:06:13 ANR1259W Files on volume U11072 needed for offsite reclamation cannot be accessed - access mode is "unavailable" or "offsite". What I believe to happen after this message is that all previously reclaimed tapes during this particular process where "not reclaimed". > met vriendelijke groeten, regards et salutations, > > Finn Leijnse > > Central Data Storage Management > Shell Services International bv. > tel: (+31) 703034043 > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
