We have had a similar problem with a ATL library for our main frame recently which we are currently upgrading. The best carts to remove we found were carts that were 100% full or close to this percentage and mark these carts as unavailable. Cheers

I have been relocating tapes to an external rack giving the condition: wherestatus=Full and days=120 However, the system has recently been asking for many of these tapes to be inserted back into the library for reclamation. Does anyone have any advice on which tapes that are the best to remove from the active silo into a storage rack? Thanks again! DaveZ
