Hi all,
I'm just going through our TSM config, but here's something I can't figure
out (one of the things actually, but let me try to tackle them one at a
time...).
At 11:30am I've got a schedule running, with this command:
upd stg copypool recl=50
I also have running, at 11:30am, the following command:
upd stg copypool recl=100
This doesn't seem very useful to me because chances are, it will never
complete the reclaim on the copypool, right? I also got a strange space
reclamation running every hour for which I cannot find the schedule. My
guess is, this is some restart / retry of perhaps this one. Just take a look
at actlog output:

What are these volumes? I did a select * from volhistory where
volume_name='volumename' on tapes 9, 24, 25 AND 27 and they all tell me this
(apart from a different volumename and date ofcourse):
DATE_TIME: 2002-03-26 16:44:29.000000
UNIQUE: 0
TYPE: STGNEW
BACKUP_SERIES:
BACKUP_OPERATION:
VOLUME_SEQ:
DEVCLASS: 3583CL
VOLUME_NAME: 000024L1
LOCATION:
COMMAND:
STGNEW means 'Specifies only records that contain information about new
sequential access storage volumes.'
So? This is a new tape that it has never used?? Then what's it doing in a
reclaim?! I'm getting very very confused here.
Anyone care to enlighten me? Please?
Tnx!
Regards,
Rick
