Hi *SMer,
We are reclaiming OFFSITE-Volumes, when they reach a Reclamation Threshold of 60
Percent.
Therefor following steps are being done:
1) All pertaining OFFSITE Volumes come in from the offsite Location.
2) Following SQL Stmt will be performed for each Volume: (Setting the Access of
the volume and the Location-Comment)
UPD VOL xxxxxx Access=ReadWrite Location=""
3) Set the Reclamation Threshold from 100% to 60% to start the Reclamation.
Now following Problem occurs:
TSM still thinks, that the volume is OFFSITE (However....) and is making an
OFFSITE-Reclamation.
And the big Problem is: The original (primary) Tapepool is collocated and the
Copy-Pool isn't.
This means, that for OFFSITE-Reclamation for one Copy-Volume in the worst case
hundreds of mounts of the primary Volumes will be needed.
The same happens, when I am making a "manual" Move-Data... (See below the
example of a Move-Data)
So why is TSM still thinking, that the Volume is OFFSITE although the
Access-State is READ/WRITE ??
Even strange (look below) that it takes about 17 Minutes to determine, where the
original Data is located and why is the Completion State of the canceled process
SUCCESS ??
Our Server-Configuration is:
.) OS/390 V2 R9.0
.) Tivoli Storage Manager for MVS, Version 3, Release 7, Level 4.0
Is it a bug or a User Failure ?
Can someone help me ?
Thanks for all hints
