Dear Steave, Thanks but that does not talk about my scenario. My scenario is that : 1- I have stg pool that has scratch volumes=9 2- Eventhough there are other scratch volumes avaiulble in the library but the system won't use those because of limit in point 1. 3- My backups would fail because it is not picking up those scratch tapes.
NOW: Are you suggesting that I should increase the number of scratch volumes and still define/configure overflow location and all full tapes in storage poool will be moved to that location, and other scratch volumes will be picked up by TSM? This way I will not run into full library situation ever. Please enlighten me !
