Yes. David B. Longo System Administrator Health First, Inc. 3300 Fiske Blvd. Rockledge, FL 32955-4305 PH 321.434.5536 Pager 321.634.8230 Fax: 321.434.5509 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/13/04 10:12AM >>> Dear Listers, Because of the holidays in the last two weeks of december (and the lack of tapechanges because of absence of operators), a customer of ours de-activated the scheduled copypool-reclamation to reduce the usage of scratch-tapes in the library. In this way, the only scratch-tapes that were going to be used were supposed to be database-backup tapes and tapepool-tapes. When the holiday started at the 16th of december, there were 26 scratch tapes available in the (3584) library. When one of the operators checked the status of the system on the 5th of januari, there were only 3 scratch tapes left. With dbbackupexpiredays set to 3 days, and no DRM checkout / checkin activities during a period of about two weeks, is it correct that there are 20 mountable (db-tapes) waiting in the library on the 5th of januari? Does TSM always need the move drm command to change the status from mountable to vault to vaultretrieve to onsiteretrieve ? By the way: when the command move drm * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk was initiated, 17 of those 20 mountable volumes became vaultretrieve (effectively scratch ) immediately. Thanks for any help!
