Have you checked to ensure you don't have any ~HUNG~ volumes ?
We recently discovered (in TSM 4.1) that if we had reclamation running
during our DB backup that TSM would have some lock problems and once all the
data was moved off a volume, it wouldn't roll scratch again ! ! !
I went out and looked and we had close to 100 tapes that were FULL and 0%
utilized ! ! !
We had to run ~audit vol fix=yes~ against each of these volumes (to clear up
hanging references)
but this only moved them to an EMPTY state
where they stayed until we issued a ~delete vol~ against each of
them
at which time they rolled scratch again.
you might try a "q vol stat=full" and see if you have any that are 0.0%
utilized...

Subject: Expiration ...
We have hit a snag on the system where by we need to manually expire volumes
urgently.
Our current policy is for 60 days retention, but we need to claw back some
volumes for
scratch.
If I change the retention period I am under the impression that this will
not age out existing
volumes but simple take affect from the point of change. Is this the case ?
I have been told by a consultant that we may have to delete volumes and it
could get a
little messy. This seems a bit extreme. There must be a way of changing the
status of
volumes manually which will convince the TSM system that the volumes have
expired.
Then I should be able to run a normal expire inventory and let the server do
the work.
Is this possible / correct ? If yes, how can it be done ? If no, what is
the solution ?
I am working on AIX 4.3.3 ML9, TSM 4.2.1.11.
All help is welcome.
Thank you
Jan
