Aloha again, I have tried to get information an this topics before, but maybe i expressed myself in a wrong way.
When i type: q libv i get this report form the Tivoli Manager Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Device Element Type ------------ ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ------- ------ 4560SLXLIB AKZ900L1 Private 32 4560SLXLIB AKZ901L1 Scratch 33 4560SLXLIB AKZ902L1 Private DbBackup 34 4560SLXLIB AKZ903L1 Private DbBackup 35 4560SLXLIB AKZ904L1 Private Data 36 4560SLXLIB AKZ910L1 Private DbBackup 47 4560SLXLIB AKZ911L1 Scratch 48 4560SLXLIB AKZ912L1 Private 37 4560SLXLIB AKZ914L1 Scratch 51 Some Tapes are private, that is OK, but as the administrator I think they should be Scratch. I can't change the status to Scratch with: update volume As far as i understood TSM thinks that there is still Data on that tape that is in use. I have already asked the maillinglist how I could view the content of a tape, the answer was q con "volume", but this is only true if the volume would be defined as a Storagepool: q con akz912l1 ANR2401E QUERY CONTENT: Volume akz912l1 is not defined in a storage pool. ANS8001I Return code 11. this this information may be useful q stg Storage Device Estimated Pct Pct High Low Next Stora- Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Migr Mig Mig ge Pool (MB) Pct Pct ----------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ---- --- ----------- AUTOLTO_PO- AUTOLTO_C- 2,000 G 4.8 20.0 90 70 OL LASS BACKUPPOOL DISK 30 G 25.6 25.6 90 70 AUTOLTO_PO- OL DBDATA DISK 20 G 33.6 33.6 90 70 AUTOLTO_PO- OL GFS-NUK-MG- DISK 19 G 34.3 34.3 90 70 AUTOLTO_PO- MTCLASS OL SERVERSTG DISK 25 G 81.0 81.0 90 70 AUTOLTO_PO- OL So how can i view the content of that tape?
