Yes, it did indeed. I found non-critical data on the critical pool offsite
tapes. It turns out it was DIRECTORY data. When I moved to the library we
also moved to a new Unix (aix-rs/6000) TSM server from an OS390 box. On
recommendation from an IBM consultant I did NOT create a directory
management class so all directory information went to my longest retention
management class which was pointing to my critical, collocated pool. NOW I
understand why I was creating so many tapes per day! Looks like I have some
work to do this afternoon. I have to create TWO DIRMC's. One for the
critical pool and another for the non-critical servers. Thanks to everyone
who responded and helped me think this through.
Take care,

Doing Query Content on the questioned tapes may illuminate the
reason for so many being ejected.
