Hello, there are two things that will cause TSM to issue the volume mount request: - the tape inserted in the drive in the evening was already used over night by reaching a migration threshold of the primary pool. In that case check for the mountretention parameter on the devclass definition. You may expand that period up to many hours - the volume inserted in the tape drive is not the volume expected by the TSM server. Because TSM uses a volume as long as there is any space left you will need to mark the volume as "full" or "unavailable" just after finishing the migration process. Or, you should create a storagepool for each day. Check the activity log for overnight migration and label readings - as far as I remember there must be a massage that states "invalid volume label" or something like that.
I don't understand why you want to delete the backup data on tape. Is there a full backup every day? Is really all data kept in the diskpool? If you migrate the data from the disk pool you cannot be sure to get a - virtual - backup of your systems copied to tape in the morning. - But yes, the easiest way is to run a "delete volume xxxxxx discard=yes" before overwriting the tape. Have you thought of using two copypools used alternativly each day or week?

TSM server 5.5.3.0, client version is 5.5.2.2. I have created a disk pool on the TSM server, which I intend to migrate every night to the LTO-2 cartridge. For now only 2 clients (the TSM server one of them). The issue: - Before they had some other software (CA Arcserve v11.5) and they (the stuff onsite) changed the cartridge every morning as they arrived (as it was ejected), one cartridge every day of the weekday (and they take the cartridge home) - I configured it correct (manual library etc), and it is working fine, but when I scheduled a migration job every night it awaits a reply to mount the cartridge. But the cartridge is already inside ? How can I avoid the reply issue ? - I did assume that expiring precisely that tapes that morning every day is difficult and I am thinking of deleting that volume every morning ? What do you think ?
