I have TSM server 5.3.5 on AIX 5.3.5 with an IBM 3584 library with 16 drives. In my offsite pool I have approximately 300 volumes with very low utilization but they are in the FILLING state, I would expect them to be in the FULL, EMPTY or PENDING state. Is there a way to target these volumes with reclamation? I suppose I could do a move data on all of them?
They certainly should be reclaimable even if they're in FILLING state if they're off-site. Did you use a command like MOVE DRMEDIA so TSM knows they're off-site? What happens if you try a manual RECLAIM STGPOOL against that storage pool? Does it say it finished normally without writing any fresh new tapes? Do your reclamations work for that storage pool for FULL tapes that are off-site? Sorry to have more questions than answers, Nick
