From: Dwight McCann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >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.?
From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager on behalf of Coats, Jack >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. ...and if that doesn't work, you probably need to check the tape into the library, set its access to READWRITE, and run an AUDIT VOLUME <VOLUME_NAME> FIX=YES on it to clear the bad database entry that says that there is data on the tape even thought there (probably) isn't. -- Mark Stapleton
