Hi list !
TSM server 5.1.6.2 on AIX 4.3.3
Could someone explain following behaviour : TSM server insists reclaming an offsite
empty tape several times a day, sometimes restarting a new reclamation process seconds
after the first one ceased.
"Q act begint=-12 s=000008" shows (snippet of it)
06.08.2003 08:57:17 ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 000008,
storage pool COPYLTO1_AIX (process number 1401).
06.08.2003 08:57:17 ANR1041I Space reclamation ended for volume 000008.
06.08.2003 08:57:56 ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 000008,
storage pool COPYLTO1_AIX (process number 1402).
06.08.2003 08:58:00 ANR1041I Space reclamation ended for volume 000008.
06.08.2003 09:07:51 ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 000008,
storage pool COPYLTO1_AIX (process number 1403).
06.08.2003 09:07:51 ANR1041I Space reclamation ended for volume 000008.
06.08.2003 09:11:13 ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 000008,
storage pool COPYLTO1_AIX (process number 1404).
06.08.2003 09:11:13 ANR1041I Space reclamation ended for volume 000008.
06.08.2003 09:30:49 ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 000008,
storage pool COPYLTO1_AIX (process number 1405).
This begins a soon as I lower reclamation threshold for copylt01_aix stgpool, and
lasts untill I increase it back to 100. Curiously no tape from corresponding primary
stgpool is mounted, no output tape is created, and more troubling q vol 000008 f=d
gives me that output :
q vol 000008 f=d

Doing a q con 000008 returns "ANR2034E QUERY CONTENT: No match found using this
criteria."
Anyone having an idea of what could be happening here, and how to get a rid of this
(delete the volume, move data ?)
Thanks in advance !
Cheers.
