Hello. We have a script that runs on Saturdays where if the tape has a 'full' status we mark it offsite:
expire inventory wait=yes backup devconfig backup volhist run tsmreclaim 60 update vol * acc=off whereDEV=*_tape whereST=full whereACC=readw update vol * acc=off whereDEV=*_tape whereST=full whereACC=reado -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom Taylor Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 11:30 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Tape rotation Hello all, Can anyone direct me to a good document that explains how to manage tapes in TSM. I have backups copying from a disk pool to a tape pool but I don't understand how to determine which tape should go off site and which shouldn't. There is of course the administrator's guide but I was hoping maybe there was something a little more clear and straight forward before I attempt to read more of the guide and decipher its meaning.
