Richard, The following command will reclaim tapes when they are 70% empty/30% full and run for 5 hours. It will not alter stgp settings. As other have suggested, I run this in an admin schedule.
Reclaim stgp 'tapepoolname' th=70 du=300 Scott -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cheung, Richard Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 4:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Re: reclamation Okay... but either way, how does one then execute a manual reclamation process to get these tapes back at a certain threshold then? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Neal Sent: Tuesday, 11 November 2008 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Re: reclamation Hi Richard, Percent utilized is not the same as percent reclaimable. They're apples and oranges. If you use pct_reclaim, you'll get what you want. : ) Jim -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cheung, Richard Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Re: reclamation I am using a SQL query to query how many tapes to be reclaimed at a certain level Select count(*) from volumes where (stgpool_name='tapepool' and upper(status)='FULL' and pct_utilized < 99) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Bronder Sent: Tuesday, 11 November 2008 9:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Re: reclamation Cheung, Richard wrote: > > Just to clarify - is that command going to permanently alter my stgpool > reclaim thresholds?? Or is that the command to do a manual > reclamation? Why doesnt reclaim stgpool <tapepool> threshold=99 work? Jim's command alters the storage pool settings for reclamation (for the threshold and number of reclamation processes to run). I'd guess that your "reclaim stgpool" command isn't working because none of the volumes in that pool have 99% reclaimable space. Your 86 tapes that are 99% utilized may not have any reclaimable space, or may have some amount less than 99% reclaimable space. In other words, percent utilized is not the same as percent reclaimable. You don't indicate how you consider a tape to be reclaimable. > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Jim Neal > Sent: Tuesday, 11 November 2008 9:33 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] reclamation > > Hi Richard, > > I believe the command you want to use is: > > upd stg <tapepool> recl=99 reclaimpr=X (where x=number of reclaim > processes to start). > > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Cheung, Richard > Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 2:56 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ADSM-L] reclamation > > Hi.. > > I have done some checks on my system on the Number of tapes to be > reclaimed in my main tape pool, and discover the following: > > No of tapes awaiting reclamation at > 99% utilized = 86 No of tapes > awaiting reclamation at > 80% utilized = 51 No of tapes awaiting > reclamation at > 70% utilized = 36 No of tapes awaiting reclamation at > > 60% utilized = 23 No of tapes awaiting reclamation at > 50% utilized > = 2 > > To facilitate this, I thought I would do some manual reclamations to > clear the back log... > > However when I enter in > > Reclaim stgpool <tapepool> threshold=99 wait=no > > It tells me 'there is no data to be processed' > > Not sure why it would tell me that if there is supposedly 86 tapes at > 99%> pct util awaiting reclamation? > > Any one has any suggestions? > > Richard > -- Hello World.
