Re: LTO Volume

Akash -
I term this "Tape leak", as I summarize in
http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts . We had a good discussion of
this about 6 months ago on ADSM-L. One member was pursuing it with IBM
as a problem.
For administration at my site, I created a macro called "filling",
which does the following:
SELECT STGPOOL_NAME AS " STORAGE POOL ",
CHAR(VOLUME_NAME,6) AS "VOLNAME", PCT_UTILIZED as "PCT UTIL",
DEC(EST_CAPACITY_MB,6) AS "MB_CAPACITY", CHAR(ACCESS,11) AS "ACCESS",
LEFT(CHAR(LAST_WRITE_DATE),19) AS "LAST_WRITE_DATE " FROM VOLUMES
WHERE STATUS='FILLING' ORDER BY STGPOOL_NAME
This is handy for monitoring tapes which are in Filling state, and also
watching for tapes which become Readonly due to events occurring as
they are filling.

Hi experts,
I have one simple query.
While taking backups on LTO through, it occupies new LTO volume only
after
the used and in process volume will display status as ‘FULL’.
But in my case I had observed that it had started taking backup on
other LTO
volume in spite of the previous one in ‘FILLING’ status.
BTO557 TAPEPOOL LTOCLASS 528,305.3 100.0
Filling
BT0558 TAPEPOOL LTOCLASS 200,000.0 15.5
Filling
Kindly provide the logical reasoning if any for the same.

Akash
