Double check the Drive and Path configurations Be certain that the existing tapes are accurately defined in the new device class.
Have you ever used the "Reclaim" command? You can force start a reclamation process that way also: Syntax >>-RECLaim STGpool--pool_name--+----------------------+---------> '-THreshold--=--number-' .-Wait--=--No------. >--+----------------------+--+------------------+---------------> '-DUration--=--minutes-' '-Wait--=--+-No--+-' '-Yes-' >--+-------------------------------------------+--------------->< '-OFFSITERECLAIMLimit--=--number_of_volumes-' George Huebschman -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Maura Adams Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 2:36 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Reclamation Processing won't start We recently upgraded our tape drives. I have verified that the new device class has a sufficient # of mount points, we have plenty of scratch volumes assigned to the tape pool. I run a query and see where we have 36 possible tape returns running reclamation at 99%. I also verified volumes were in readw status. I manually adjust the stg pool to desired reclamation value and nothing happens. No error message ................ no mention of reclamation in the actlog ....... zippo. Tried both an onsite tape pool and offsite copypool. Frustrating. What am I missing? thanks, M IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
