Hi all, It looks like I had to wait until after mid-night... My normal RMM housekeeping run (which runs @01:30am) released (wait for it) 89 tapes back to the scratch pool! I think CA1 is similar in it's scratch processing. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks all, Greg, We have TVEXTPURGE(RELEASE) coded. Allan, I've re-run RMM housekeeping a few times. It would seem that RMM isn't releasing ANY scratch tapes now... Lizette, Unfortunately I'm restricted to how many PMR's I can open in a year (4 - the company I work for are a software develo

Pending release is GOOD! This means that RMM has decided to expire the tape. It will be "finally" scratched on the next housekeeping cycle. This is just the way RMM works. Try changing the "count" in the VRS to a "more reasonable (FSVO reasonable) value. e.g. 10 and see if the tapes relea

Allan, Try changing the "count" in the VRS to a "more reasonable (FSVO reasonable) value. e.g. 10 and see if the tapes release. I've done that, and verified the VRS's, and re run RMM "housekeeping". Now some tapes have a status of PENDING RELEASE. The only ACTION PENDING I can see is RETU

The definitions are correct (FSVO correct). However, I think RMM is "ignoring" what HSM is telling it due to the cycle count specified. Try changing the "count" in the VRS to a "more reasonable (FSVO reasonable) value. e.g. 10 and see if the tapes release. Reasonable should be somewhat in exc

So, having restored all the systems we had backed up, I can now re-visit this. Is dfHSM defined as an EDM (External Data Manager) to dfRMM? If not, there is a section in the dfHSM Installation and Customization Guide on how to do this. Allan, I can't find a dfHSM Installation and Customizat
