DRPOOL Space Reclamation Problems

We're having some problems over the past week with a tape volume that is in our library. Reclamation of DRPOOL for a particular volume keeps failing and shows multiple failure events over the course of the job. Here are the messages from one of the failures. Any ideas on how to clear this up?

Reclamation Preemption

2007-05-24 Thread Bill Carlson
Hey All, According to my research and the TSM Admin Guide, a restore process should preempt reclamation when mount points are short. Obviously, I'm not seeing that behavior. :) Here's my setup: TSM 5.3.4 Server option NOPREEMPT set to 'NO'. I have 2 IBM 3494 libraries. Each library has 4

Hi Bill, Is it possible that your reclamation processes are handling huge files ? In that case TSM will wait till the current file is finished before releasing the drive HTH. Cheers Arnaud ** Panalpina

Each side can ping the other (went into OS/2 and pinged the server, just fine). We think it might have been the IPTABLES config on the RH box. We shut it down and the LM port was now able to connect/activate. Thanks for the response. David E Ehresman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: ADSM: Dist
