Ameerul,
Sometimes, if your data compresses well, you will get more on the tape than you expect.
Conversely, sometimes, if the data doesn't compress well you will get less.
TSM just reports how much it has written. You will be able to get it all back.

Hi All,
Why is it the tape utilization (q vol) hits more than
400GB even though the tape can actually utilize about
400GB (compressed)? Why is this happening? Will the
data in the tape still recovarable?
Thanks and regards

You can also get these messages with a tape mount / residency problem.
Last time I saw these messages was when an offsite tape had been ejected

Sorry I overlooked the obvious one on that --
Running expiration or migration at the same time as your offsite volume
reclamation is definitely one of the ways to hit the ANR1173E message.
If you can schedule your migration and offsite reclamation to occur at
separate times, this will clear up.

Did you recently switch your offsite pool from non-collocated to

During offsite reclamation for a collocated pool, the server checks the

Given the DS4500 has FlashCopy and VolumeCopy (what's this?), is there

Does that make sense? :)

If so, as what kind of device do they report?
