Any one have a solution for this
We are using Data Domain for VTL. 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.

Re: Any one have a solution for this
Jim, Technically, this is not a problem. If you had real physical tapes, then the data would be available until the tape was overwritten. Several VTS vendors provide this feature for compatibility purposes. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

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 lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
