Paul, Please elaborate on what you mean by 'determine what tapes to send for temp onsite storage'. I'm a bit confused...
To make sure you have enough scratch tapes in your library a simple SQL query might help: select status, last_use, count(*) from libvolumes group by last_use, status For load, I have set up a Windows scheduled task that uses the admin command line interface to perform a few queries and append the results to a file. This is helpful to determine how many drives are in use, how many client tasks are active, how many processes are running, etc at any given interval. Reviewing this file can be helpful to look in the rear view mirror to see what might have happened. You could also use the TSM activity log and extract related messages, but the activity log doesn't nicely show how many tape drives you have in use! John G.
