In my experience, that is a manifestation of the TSM server running through the database (you should see a lot of disk activity there) compiling a list of all the onsite tapes necessary to represent all the files on the offsite tape which is to be reclaimed. Eventually, this would result in a list of such onsite volumes, in ANR1157I messages - if all goes well. The higher the capacity of the offsite tape, and the more remaining unexpired data on it, the longer this can take. Watch for the conclusion of the Move Data in the Activity Log, one way or the other; and check for abnormalities reflected in that log during the discovery process. There may be some database problems or unavailable onsite tapes thwarting this process. Bringing offsite tapes back and reclaiming them onsite is much faster; but, of course, then that data is not offsite. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs/
