What we have found is that even though a tape goes scratch in our Tape Library Manager, the space is still in use for that "Scratch Tape" on the Data Domain.

The "clean" process is intended to free up and reorg (defrag ?) the disk. Are you running that ??? The default is for it to run weekly on Tuesday mornings; try command "filesys clean status" to find the last date it completed. The devices don't allow tapes to go scratch until a specified amount of time has elapsed since creation. Ours is set to 10 days. I think the default is 5 days. I'm not sure how to check that. It might be "retention lock" in the filesys command set, but you'll have to look that one up. Are you sending your scratch list to the VTL ??? I'm told you should send the complete list, but I filter ours. It takes a while to push a couple hundred thousand VOL=SERs through, so I only send the tapes that aren't already in the scratch pool file. Those are the only things that come to mind at the moment. Good Luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
