Hi, You do one more move media and check in the tapes as private.
'move media VolumeName stg=* wherestate=mountablenotinlib wherestatus=fill,full' You will have to monitor actlog for the messages that indicate that volumes are needed for reclamation/storage pools backup or becomes empty etc. //Henrik -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Rosette Sent: den 19 juli 2005 16:06 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Old tapes Hey Ben, I am wanting to use this command, but my sup. wants to know how to get those tape back if needed??? Thank You, Bill Rosette WWJD Ben Bullock <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] COM> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Re: Old tapes Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 03/30/2005 11:35 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" We have had to do this in the past to free up library space. Rather than using the checkout libvol command, I would suggest using the functions within the TSM server to store tapes outside of the library: the "move media" command. Do a 'help move media' for how it works. Here is an example command I have used that would check tapes out of the library from our "I_TAPEPOOL" storagepool that have not been touched in 60 days: move media * stg=I_TAPEPOOL wherestate=mountableinlib wherestatus=full day=60 ovflocation='Bldg26 rack' Ben -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Owings, Don Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 9:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Old tapes #1, what's your retention for this data if you don't need it reuse the tapes. #2 if they aren't at 100% do "move data" on them to free up the tapes that way. #3 if your solution calls for long term storage then just check them out and you should be good to go. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave Zarnoch Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Old tapes Oh mighty Gurus..... Please forgive my naive question...... We are running out of slots in our library and I have examined some of the tapes and have found that some of them haven't been read for 1 1/2 years and some haven't been written to in 3 or 4 years. Can I eject these tapes and store them in a rack? I tried 5 of them and used the following commands: update volume <vol> loc=shelf checkout libv <lib> <vol> checkl=no rem=b Is this kosher? Thanks!
