Actually, I think I remember this coming up once before, and it's WAD. (That's Working as Designed, not Working as Desirable.)
But I don't know where to find any doc for it. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Boyer Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 10:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Processes calling for scratch instead of an existing FILLING tape I've noticed that processes will fill a tape and then instead of calling for another FILLING tape in the storage pool, it will mount a scratch tape. I just saw this again this morning...I had a BA STG running from onsite tape to offsite tape. There were 4 tapes in the offsite pool...2 filling.. 1 full..and a filling tape being written to. The current tape filled up and instead of mounting one of the other 2 filling tapes, a new scratch tape was called for. And one of the filling tapes was only 1.4% used! I search the TSM site and the archives, but I must not have the correct search words, 'cause I can't find any hits. My TSM server is 5.3.2.1 on AIX 5.3 ML2.
