I ran into a similar issue and found a new STG was defined and the new
default for collocate is "group". I changed that to none. Then did a
move data on every volume in the "filling" state.

I reviewed every STG for all 4 TSM servers and did not find that issue
but did find a number of low utilized volumes. I'm still trying to
figure out why. 

If anyone has any theories on why I have more than "normal" filling with
low utilization I'd appreciate the input.

Thanks,
Duane

Subject: How to reclaim "FILLING" volumes

Hi All,

Thanks for your help!!

I have TSM server 5.3.5 on AIX 5.3.5 with an IBM 3584 library with 16
drives. In my offsite pool I have approximately 300 volumes with very
low utilization but they are in the FILLING state, I would expect them
to be in the FULL, EMPTY or PENDING state. Is there a way to target
these volumes with reclamation? I suppose I could do a move data on all
of them?
