Hi, If the tape itself is readable, all readable data will be restored and the damage part will be reported (error log) and skipped. Restore will take somewhat longer because of the retries on the damaged part of the tape. Regards, Karel -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor

Do you have a script that you can run to see how many reclaimable tapes you have? For the storage pools you show below run the following two: select volume_name as ONSITE_VOLUME,est_capacity_mb as CAPACITY,pct_utilized as UTILIZATION,pct_reclaim as RECLAIMABLE from volumes where

Hi. TSM V5.4.3.0 AIX V5.3 TL7 I have been doing some checking on on-site tapes via q volume * f=d command and other scripts. The two TSM database values which we have been checking are percent utilized and percent reclaim. Some of the on-site tapes do not have a reverse of each other

Are the onsite tapes full or filling? Onsite tapes are not eligible for reclamation until they are full. A filling tape with only 1% used has 99% of it's space left to fill. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lamb, Charles P. Sent:

No. Filling tapes aren't eligible for reclamation, unless they are marked OFFSITE. If the tape is filling and onsite, the %utilized is the estimated amount of tape that has been used (the number of bytes written as a percentage of Est-capacity for the devclass) and the %reclaimable is the amount
