Good Day To All, I am fuzzy about SPILL volumes. I checked the PRIMER doc and it is very not clear about what SPILL actually does, it says something to the effect that HSM moves older backup versions to other volumes or SPILL volumes. If I understand it correctly, HSM moves the DAY backup to SPILL and this is done via RECYCLE. My question is 2 fold. If I am running low on SPILL tapes should I need to add tapes to the SPILL Backup or to DAILY BACKUP i.e ADDVOL BKP002 UNIT(3590-1) BACKUP(SPILL) THRESHOLD(85) or ADDVOL BKP006 UNIT(3590-1) BACKUP(DAILY(1)) Also, I ran a report to check what BACKUP tapes are eligible for recycle - HSENDCMD RECYCLE DISPLAY BACKUP I noticed in the report it has both the BACKUP and SPILL VOLS. Is there a way of just getting the BACKUP volsers? I executed the report again for SPILL - HSENDCMD RECYCLE DISPLAY SPILL and the report only listed the SPIL vols.
Thanks for your advice in advance.
