If you set the retention period on the pool after the volume was created, then
you have to manually tell the volume to grab the new settings from the pool.
This might not apply to you, but it's a common gotcha.

Hi,
I had some jobs stall b/c of no volumes available for recycling. But there were
two volumes in the pool (Differential) that were last written to beyond the 7
day volume retention period. Volumes in the pool are set to recycle. Below is
the info on volumes and the Differential pool. As far as I can tell, the pool
and volumes are properly setup for automatic recycling after 7 days.
Why might volumes L50023 and L50024 not been automatically recycled?
(Today I manually purged volume L50023 and then manually changed the status to
'Recycle' after the jobs did not resume. Then 2-3 hours or so later, the jobs
resumed using L50023. Note that L50024 also wasn't automatically recycle. I
haven't done anything to it today.)
Thanks for any help!
