Re: Empty Tapes are NOT Empty?

FWIW, I've had the same problem on occasion. What I found is that it isn't even necessary to bring the funky tape back from offsite. If the Q CONTENT shows nothing on the tape, you can update the status to READONLY (instead of offsite), and run the AUDIT VOLUME with fix=YES without checking the

Sandra. You sound like you are usd to an old-style product like arcserve or backup-exec. TSM tapes don't work that way. TSM backs up far less data that traditional backup products, and its tapes don't come back on site until they are empty, which, especially for tapes created in the early part

Empty Virtual volumes

Anyone ever seen this? Using virtual volumes, my primary server keeps EMPTY volumes around... not sure if they are created empty or become empty through reclamation. Shouldn't they be deleted after reclamataion? Or at least reused? It's filling up maxscratch on the stgp and causing the

Thanks for the hints, but issuing the runfile didn't help. The server also reports the HTTP port on 1580 active. The dsmserv.opt isn't changed and looks okay. But connecting via browsers still doesn't succeed. Mit freundlichen Grüßen With best regards Uwe Koch

Sandra, You really should backup your TSM database every (working) day. If you have another sort of tape drive attached you can use that. You can also use a file device class and burn the files to CD. Your number of tapes is far too small. You will learn this the hard way. Regards Steve.
