1. Ensure expiration is happening - if expiration interval in 'q stat' output is 0 there must be admin schedule for 'expi inv'. 2. 'q stg <pool with those tapes> f=d' will show you the reclamation threshold. It usually has to be 60-70 (%). If is 100% reclamation will never start. 3. compare the percentage in 'q vol' against the threshold from p.2 and if necessary lower the threshold with 'upd stg <the pool> recl=<something less>' And do not search yourself, there are computers for that (and search functionality in help). Just find time to read redbook SG24-4877.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: TSM 4.2, Private won't go into scratch Hi everyone. I have a concern. Maybe I should RTFM, but don't have enough time to search. I have a following concern: Magstar 3575-L12 and 40 tapes currently in slots. I backup everyday 54GB, which occupies 5 - 7 tapes. I set in backup mgmt class number of copies to keep 2 whenever they have been deleted or not. (retain extra and only version are set to 2 as well). I've set backup retention to 7 days. The collocation is 'yes' The problem is, that the tapes won't go into scratch, it looks like the reclamation process won't start. What should I check? Thanks in advance... zee
