updating the drive mid transaction to online=no does it for me. AIX 4.3.3 & 5.1 TSM 4.2.3.3
Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Queensland Health, Brisbane Australia >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/03/2003 1:49:56 >>> Make sure your stgpool reclamation level is set high, then issue the cancel process. Then, here's the fun part, go over to your library and turn off or IPL the INPUT drive. Your process will fail out with a read error and you'll be good to go. I probably wouldn't do this in production without testing if you're using SCSI drives, I don't know how the bus would handle redetecting the drive, but it works great in my Fibre Channel environment. Since I don't know how your environment's set up, use at your own risk.

If I have an emergency restore that is stalled because it requires a drive and all the drives are tied up with processes that are in 'cancel pending' state, is there quick way of killing the processes that are using the drives without stopping the TSM server?
