From: William Rosette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >We have a script that does our daily backups, and with DRM piece with TSM. We are currently at 34 Scratch tapes and sending 15-20 tapes offsite. 2 days left of scratches. I have been running reclamation on COPYPOOL at hi=50, and a move data on tapes that are 0-18% pct util and volume status=full. Can't figure what outgoing more than incoming, any helpers out there.<
First approximation says that you're backing up significantly more data now than you did previously. Check your dsmaccnt.log. (You do have accounting turned on, don't you?) How many reclaimed tapes come back from your vault on a daily basis? Are any of your reclaimed tapes in PENDING mode? What percentage of your copy pool tapes have less than 45% occupancy? Don't get in the habit of regularly running MOVE DATAs. If you're required to do that on a regular basis to keep room in the library, and everything else is running well, you have a resource constraint in your library that is only solvable with a larger library. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
