We just went through this upgrade with 2 drives this past weekend and all
went pretty well. The only tapes that I had to set to readonly were those
in a filling status. I have run the library approx 10 hrs/day since then
and have not had any problems reading the old tapes. We have found a
handful
On unix you can use the find command to identify the files that haven't
been modified in x number of days and copy them to another directory that
you can then archive from.
find searchpath -mtime +numberof days -exec mv {} targetpath \; -exec
echo {} \;
dsmc archive -DELETEFILEs "targetpath"

For offsite volumes, reclamation can occur when the percentage of unused
space on the volume is greater than the reclaim parameter value. The unused
space includes both space that has never been used on the volume and
I thought there was a ptf somewhere along the way that addressed this
problem. I thought it's supposed to set the volume to private so that it
doesn't attempt to mount the same scratch tape again. I think Richard
already suggested upgrading software. What level are you running?

"Etherchannel is an aggregation technology that ships with AIX 4.3.3. With
Etherchannel, you can produce a single large pipe by combining the
bandwidth of multiple ethernet adapters. The aggregated pipe appears to be

Are you really rebooting the client? Wouldn't that sever the communication
connection between the client and server and possibly prevent the sending
of a completion message back to the server? Wouldn't that cause the server
to think that the scheduled command had failed? Try changing the reboot
To follow up on what Richard said about the gripper, have you looked at the
bottom of the library? Several years ago we were missing a tape. The
library said the tape was present, but ADSM couldn't mount it. We visually
examined all cells in the library (thankfully, it was only a single frame)
Joshua,
Try adding the option "nwpwfile yes". I used to intermittently see this
problem when the scheduler attempted to connect to Netware - I would type
in the Netware user id and password again and it would run fine for months.
I haven't seen this problem at all since I added this option.
