Hi All,
I have a big problem here. Help requested.
I have a 3583 LTO library with 2 drives. TSM Server v4.2 on AIX.
I have been running Scheduled backups without any problems so far.
Yesterday the server started reclamation process for one of the Storage
pools as shown below.
784 Space Reclamation Volume 053ABS (storage pool TECH_TAPE_POOL),
Moved Files: 0, Moved Bytes: 0, Unreadable
Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Current
Physical
File (bytes): 10,487,404
Waiting for mount of
input volume 053ABS (68221 seconds).
Some of the activity log entries are :

storage pool TECH_TAPE_POOL (process number 723).

The volume status shows no errors with the volume.

Even though both the tape Drives are free, and a scratch volume is made
