Antwort: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA
Hi Robin, that's true, the message goes something like status of volume blah blah has changed to private to prevent reaccess, but the volume has no last use when you do a q libv volume it is just private, not private and last use data Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Markus Veit An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: Thema: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA [EMAIL PROTECTED] U Received : 27.12.2002 17:36 Bitte antworten an ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Markus, I've seen that also... I think what happens is TSM tries to use a tape that has been deleted as a scratch, but encounters a problem of some kind, so it marks the tape provate to prevent it being used again. If that is the case, you should see a message in the activity log indicating the condition. Do a query of the actlog searching for the tape volser and you should see the message.

Re: Antwort: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA
What is the error you are seeing right before TSM announces the tapes are being marked Private?? Have you tried to LABEL LIBV them? Maybe they don't have a valid internal label? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Markus Veit Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Antwort: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA Hi Bill, indeed they are checked in as scratch, so there seems to be a bug somewhere for the volumes not to automattically return to scratch Mit freundlichen Gr|_en / Best Regards Markus Veit An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: Thema: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA [EMAIL PROTECTED] U Received : 27.12.2002 17:41 Bitte antworten an ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Then I would CHECKOUT LIBV library volume REM=NO CHECKL=NO and then CHECKIN LIBV library SEARCH=YES STAT=SCR CHECKL=B and see if TSM lets you check them in as scratch.

Re: Antwort: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA
indeed they are checked in as scratch, so there seems to be a bug somewhere for the volumes not to automattically return to scratch Again, check your Activity Log for what events surrounded the historical use of the volumes. (Your Activity Log retention, one way or another, should extend back in time at least several months, as necessary evidence of what's happening in your company's backup system.) If the volumes were Defined to be in a storage pool, they would stay in the storage pool when emptied.
Re: Antwort: Re: Antwort: Volumes Private with NO stgpool last use DATA
In that case, I would try re-labeling with overwrite=yes. If that doesn't work, they may be defective. Were they ever used, or are they brand-new?
