consider doing a 'delete volume VOLNAME discarddata=yes' if the volume is really empty.
I must do this on occasion, but I don't like it. Sometimes it happens if there had been a read error on the tape. -----Original Message----- From: Dwight McCann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 6:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TSM5.1.8: Can't Reclaim COPYPOOL Volume I normally reclaim offsite copypool volumes once a week. When the reclaim is complete, some volumes will be STATUS=EMPTY and ACCESS=OFFSITE. When I update the volume to ACCESS=READWRITE, it is dropped from the Copy storage pool and I can put it back into the scratchpool. I have a tape that is not working that way. It is 100% reclaimable, 0.0% used, has no CONTENT, but just won't go empty. Am I doing something wrong or am I confused or am I having a Senior Moment.? tsm: DATAPLUS_SERVER1>q vol tsm011 f=d Volume Name: TSM011 Storage Pool Name: COPYPOOL Device Class Name: LTO2 Estimated Capacity (MB): 197,838.6 Pct Util: 0.0 Volume Status: Full Access: Offsite Pct.
