Cleaning the tapes

2002-01-31 Thread Nazir 

Hi,

I'd like to know the commands to clean the tapes to reuse it whithout the
loss of valid data.

Because TSM is asking for new tapes. But the tapes in my storage pool aren't
full yet.

Thanks in advance,
Nazir.

Do you mean reclamation?  If so, then you have to go to that tapestgpool and

do an update stgpool TAPEPOOL recl=50

Demetrius

I think that you are refering to doing tape reclamation.  Tape reclamation
will not occur until your tapes have been marked as full and then the
percentage utilized drops below your reclamation threshold.  Reclamation
will not occur for tapes that are filling.  to do this you would have to
issue a move data command.  My concern is; Why is TSM asking for new tapes
if your existing tapes are not full?  Is TSM asking for tapes for use in a
different storage pool?

Please include the results from; q libv, q vol, q sess f=d, q proc.
