MIG STG BACKUPPOOL LO=0

Yes the stgpool has thresholds set (see my original post/below).

WHOA - Something just changed.   I have been running various "move data"
to empty the individual volumes.  I just did a "q stgpool" and now it
shows "Pct Migr - 100%".

Really bizzare.......

What is the syntax of the migrate stg command you are using?  Are you
specifying a "low" setting? or letting it use the storage pool thresholds?
 (i.e. try it, specifying low=0 if not)

Shawn

I thought about that too (should have mentioned it).  We just recently
rebooted the server (network issue - don't ask.......) and there are no
active backups/sessions.  No processes other than the movedata I just
started.  I did a Q CONTENT and all of the disk volumes show something in
them from dozens of different nodes.

I've seen this when there is a current backup active and that's nodes
files are the only ones in the disk pool.
do a "q se" and see if anything is active.

[ADSM-L] Pct Migr=0.0, Caching=No but there is data in the disk stgpool






I have a very odd situation on my new Linux 6.2.3.100 server/disk pool, as

          Overwrite Data when Deleted:


It says 77% utilized but nothing migratable.  Trying to MIG STGPOOL says
"nothing to migrate" yet doing a BACKUP STGPOOL is running and backing up.
 I did an audit on one of the disk volumes and it said "yup - there is
something in there and it is OK/no problems".

As you can see, caching is NOT turned on (never have used that feature -
usually too much traffic flowing through to make it of any value).....and
what is with the "Pct Logical" is 100%?

This is a server I upgraded from 5.5.  The disk pools were recreated from
scratch so it's not like there was anything left behind......
