Hi Again,
you would have to create a collocated storagepool (on tape), and migrate
data from the diskpool to the new tapepool. You would have to setup next
storagepoole for your diskpool, to point to the right tapepool before you
start migration, by setting the migration hi/lo for the diskpool.
Hi David,
I would reccommend the following steps;
Load the drivers for the exabyte and drives.
In Windows Device Manager, disable all drives and changer (exabyte library).
In services (w2k), disable Removable storage,
now reboot, and configure the lot to use TSM Device Driver, reboot again and

Answer 1:
Expiration (and reclamation) should happen normally based on your Reclamation
threshold. We have two offsite copypools and we have them set for 70 and 80%

reclamation, it's the % of reclaimable space

Q1. TSM server expires offsite (copypool) copies together with primary
copies according to rules set in copygroups. You can see how utilization
decreases on offsite volumes after expiration run. Actually you are
looking for *reclamation* of offsite volumes. Very descriptive and short

I have two backup solution TSM 4.2 and Time Navigator 3.6 (aka tina).
Tina is used mainly to backup a Network Appliance F820 thru NDMP over IP

Hi TSMers,
does anybode have an idea on why volumes in a library have a status of Private
with last use Data
but do not belong to a storagepool. Volumes with a status of private with no
last use are defect, ie can't read the label.
volume_name LIBRARY_NAME STATUS LAST_USEACCESS
Give this a try:
1) SELECT ENTITY, SUM(BYTES) FROM SUMMARY WHERE ACTIVITY='BACKUP' AND
START_TIME BETWEEN '-MM-DD HH:MM:00.00' AND '-MM-DD
HH:MM:00.00' GROUP BY ENTITY
2) SELECT ENTITY, SUM(BYTES) FROM SUMMARY WHERE ACTIVITY='MIGRATION' AND
START_TIME BETWEEN '-MM-DD
Could be the reusedelay for the storage pool they did belong to...
(I use 0 days so I can't say how they look once all the data expires and
they are in a ~waiting to be reused~ state)
Other then that, there was a little bug a while back (sometime prior to
4.2.2.0) that would leave hanging
Database backups will show up as Private, Dbbackup! But backupsets will
display Private, Data.

This is not actually true. The accounting log counts the number of bytes

Hi Dwight,
the reusedelay is 0.

if there are in a not to reuse state than the volumes have a State of 'Pending'

To find out what TSM actually did with that volume, you can use this SQL
query:
SELECT * FROM VOLHISTORY WHERE VOLUME_NAME='volser'
This will give you a history of how TSM used that tape, and the last entry
is the final status of the volume. If the tapes are truely not assigned to

Hi,
that's true, but they are seen with the q drmedia command, and are included in

I do believe that the accounting data gives both the Amount of data, in
kilobytes, communicated between the client node and the server during the
session and the Amount of backup files, in kilobytes, sent by the client
to the server. Mr. Lindsay Morris has a free script on his ServerGraph page
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
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.

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

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

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?

Check your records on the use of those volumes:
- Volumehistory
- Activity Log

Again, check your Activity Log for what events surrounded the historical use

Ahh, this is an old problem that you can find in the archives. But
to save you the trouble, here is the fix.
The simple answer is a audit vol fix=yes but for a copypool tape, you need
a couple extra steps:
update vol $1 access=readw
audit vol $1 fix=yes
update vol $1 access=offsite
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?

For some reason we forget that IP packet processing on the client and server
