Weird tape utilization

Hi *SM-ers! I have found something very strange in our TSM tape utilization. I found several primary storage pool tapes which should be used for data, but which are not.

Changing reusedelay has an immediate effect for the stgpool you change it on, including DRM managed pools. Actually it takes about 15-20 minutes in my experience to see the effect. For offsite pool, next time you run list of tapes to come back you will have a larger list. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0
