Another way without deleting anything is this. What reclamation percent do you use? If say you use the "standard" of 60%, then reducing this to 55% will free up more tapes onsite and offsite.
David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/22/02 07:01AM >>> 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.
