When TSM mounts a scratch tape the EXPDT field in CA-1 gets updated as PERMANENT and CA-1 will never recognize that tape as a scratch until the EXPDT changes to an expired date. The EXPDT will not change until I delete the stgdelete volumes from the VOLHISTORY file. So if I do a query volhist;
tsm: >q volhist type=stgdelete
Server date/time: 09/17/2003 09:58:06
Date/Time: 09/17/2003 09:57:04
Volume Type: STGDELETE
Backup Series:
Backup Operation:
Volume Seq:
Device Class: CART3590
Volume Name: 101211
Volume Location:
TSM knows that 101211 is a stgdelete and ready to be scratched. But CA-1 knows that it is still controlled by TSM because the EXPDT = PERMANENT
CA-1 DISPLAY;
--------------------------- VOLSER INQUIRY DISPLAY ------------------------
03.260
VOLSER = 101211 ACTVOL= SMSMC= BLANKS
DSN = ADSM.BFS DSN17= ADSM.BFS
EXPDT = PERMANENT ACCT= HEXZEROS
FLAG1 = 40 = (CLO) BATCHID= 00 =TMSTMSTV
Now if I do a delete volhist type=stgdelete;
tsm: MGECC_SERVER>delete volhist type=stgdelete todate=today
Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) y
ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 1 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted.
Since TSM has let go of control over that tape, CA-1 will now take it back;
--------------------------- VOLSER INQUIRY DISPLAY --------------------------
03.260
VOLSER = 101211 ACTVOL= SMSMC= BLANKS
DSN = ADSM.BFS DSN17= ADSM.BFS
EXPDT = 2003/260 ACCT= HEXZEROS
FLAG1 = 40 = (CLO) BATCHID= 60 = TMSTMSTV
Now the EXPDT is todays date so tomorrow morning when we run our morning tape processing job, CA-1 will expire VOLSER 101221 and it will be a scratch tape in CA-1 control. The module TMSARCTV must define these controls in some way when it is set as the deletionexit in the MVS Server Options file.
