For various reasons I've ended up with a large number of tapes that only have a few GB on them (tape drive issues caused by a contaminated tape(*)) and this is burning up pool spares.
I want to migrate the files on those tapes to newer tapes within the same pool, then recyle the original tapes. Not the entire JobID, just the parts which are on the tapes in question. Does anyone have a recipe for this? Thanks Alan (*) Contaminated out of the box. Apparently HP shipped a bad batch. The tape clogged the drive, the drive then cross contaminated several other tapes and the combination then resulted in ~100 LTO5 tapes being marked "full" with only 1-20Gb on them. It's bad enough that the drives aren't usable even after deep cleaning, so I've bought in a LTO-cleaning machine from MPtapes.com and a Veritape analyser to work out what needs attacking first - before any tapes go anywhere near the new drives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
