Re: help:label tape question
Feng, Hmm, you want to take 800 tapes out of your library, then label 200 more, but you only have two drives. I'd suggest that you have some serious problems here. Are you running expire inventory regularly? does it complete? Are you reclaiming your tape storage pools regularly? Before you post again, have a look at the Administrator's Guide, Chapter 11 Implementing Policies for Client Data in the section File Expiration and Expiration Processing and follow the links to Reclaiming Space in Sequential Storage Pools and Running Expiration Processing to Delete Expired Files The Administrator's Guide is available in HTML and pdf format on a CD that came with TSM. It may already be installed on your server. If you can't work your problem out from that, you need to buy some consulting time from an expert in your region. There may be problems with your client retention policies, with Database backup processing, with obsolete filespaces that need to be deleted or any number of other things, more than we can help you with on this list. Good luck.

Another question is if I take the opertion: ADSMlabel libvol libname search=yes labelsouce=barcode can library auto label all those tapes in the library? Last can you tell me what's the scratch pool ? Thanks and regards Feng ** This e-mail, including any attachments sent with it, is confidential and for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

Re: help:label tape question
Yes and know. The label operation will grab a drive if it is available and label the tapes. Otherwise, it will fail with no devices available. The backup operation will use the other drive. So start the label operation before the backup operation if you really want to do the labeling. A library cannot auto label a tape. But: label libvol [libname] search=yes labelsource=barcode volrange=[start],[end] Will probably do what you are looking for. select library_name, volume_name, status from libvolumes where status='Scratch' Paul D.

Yes, if your backup task only need one tape drive, as you have only two. Last can you tell me what's the scratch pool ? Scratch Pool is a tape pool containing all free 'scratch' tapes, which can be used for all defined tape storage pools. So you don't need to calculate the amount of tapes for a specific tape storage pool. Greetings Rolf Meyer Systems Consultant Info Business Systems GmbH D-22607 Hamburg, Germany
