tape mount retention behaviour

2001-02-05 Thread Joe Faracchio
I recently upgraded from 3.1.2.20 to 3.7.2.0 and notice a very annoying behaviour. The system keeps an idle tape mounted for the full retention period specified despite the pending mounts that are waiting. when / where will this be fixed??? thanks ... joe.f. Joseph A Faracchio, Systems Progra

I would add to this an amount of tapes for 'cycling' We do not recall the offsite tapes that have "just' been reclaimed but put it off for another week so that the tapes they are replacing are already in place at the offsite location. For me this number is 20-50. Current view of offsite pendings

Also what size (and how many) processors are in the Windows NT/W2K machine??? I have seen non-server win-nt clients halve their processing time when a user upgrades from Pentium to Pentium II or III, etc. Client processor muscle matters! My first Mac clients only got 25Megs/Hour!!!

I've seen the middle. Restores pre-empt the reclamation but it takes a long time (30 minutes). Haven't figure out what its waiting/looking for before it decides to move on it. Not very nice to my users to have to wait 30 minutes for a restore to start. ... joe.f. Joseph A Faracc

I thought Expire Inventory was a 'constant' keyed off of how many files you have and not how many are deleted. This is interesting. I've heard of shops that only run it on weekends because it takes so long which I don't understand. It's "cancelable" and its "restartable" and so why not run it d
