No, not directly, but you could mark all of the tapes that you don't want to use to private. It would then have to pick the one you want. If you have lots of tapes this is not going to be fun! Another way that might work is to define the volume to the pool rather than letting TSM take a scratch tape. Make sure all the other volumes in the pool are marked readonly. Then TSM will have to take the tape you want.
define vol tapepool volnumber We get used to using scratch tapes and often forget we can define tapes to a specific pool. One last way easier than either of the other is to define a new pool and put one tape (the new tape) into that pool. Then: move data volname stg=newpool You can move it back to other pool when you're done fooling around! Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 8:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: move data I just received a bunch of K tapes and wanted to do a test. I'd like to see what portion of a tape remains empty if I move data from a J tape that says it's 100% full to a K tape. Is it possible to specify move data from a specific tape to a specific empty scratch tape?
