I have a new tapepool that I only use for a couple of nodes that is using colocation. Can I change the status of a tape that is in that pool to readonly so I can remove it, even though it is not full? Will TSM then grab a new tape to use, or will it complain because the "not full" tape is not available and the backup fail?
If so then I can rotate these tapes by marking them readonly and readwrite weekly since I am only doing a weekly backup for this special node. Not that hard to test out, but I thought I may get an answer faster through you guys. Server, WIN2K, TSM 5.1.6.3 Thanks, Mark Bertrand
