Hello, We setup TSM 5.5.1 a few monts ago, but I fear that I have made an error in the configuration... hopefully somebody can let me know that there is an easy fix!
In the TSM maintenance plan script, I selected a TAPE device class. Now when I view our volumes, in the tape library, there are dozens of volumes that are now marked Private, showing the Last Use as Dbbackup. After doing some research, it would seem that you can only have 1 database backup per volume. I have since moved the database backups to a different device class (on a disk), but I don't seem to be able to reclaim any of these wasted private volumes back into scratch. Is there an easy or safe way to do this? I have tried an "expire inventory" command, then tried an "update libvolume" command. These volumes do not show up as being reclaimable when I run a query. Would "checkin" / "checkout" of the tape produce the same results? Thank you in advance for your help __________________________ Ramiro Ruiz, Network Specialist Information Services Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry The University of Western Ontario ramiro.r...@schulich.uwo.ca Phone 519.520.0760
