Hy all,

Background : 2 AIX-Servers as TSM-Server (TSM 3.7.4). Each server sends its
copy-pool date via Server-to-Server to a storage-pool on the other server
(seq access primary pool --> Magstar-Tape). I have a reclamation threshold
at 80% on the seq acc stg pool and a threshold of 90% for the
copy-pool-volumes on the originating server.


My question about 'reconcile volumes' :

every day before backing up my TSM-database I run a reconcile volumes with
fix=yes on both of my TSM-servers.

I get warnings like the following for about 40 Volumes :

05/07/01 05:48:43 ANR4359W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Volume BC0ADSM2.BFS.973060068
not valid, the size of the volume on target server does not match the size
on the source server.

05/07/01 05:48:44 ANR4361W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Volume BC0ADSM2.BFS.975652121
not valid, the target server has reported damage to all or part of the
volume.

The job completes with the following messages :

05/07/01 05:48:46 ANR4345I RECONCILE VOLUMES completed for device class
BC02DEVCL; (process ID 363); 3501 volumes inspected, 38 invalid volumes
found, 0 volumes deleted.
05/07/01 05:48:46 ANR4336W RECONCILE VOLUMES process ended, process ID 363.
05/07/01 05:48:46 ANR0987I Process 363 for RECONCILE VOLUMES (REPAIR)
running in the BACKGROUND processed 3501 items with a completion state of
SUCCESS at 05:48:46.

Many of the volumes (not all) bring the same message on next day.

How do I get rid of these messages, what do they exactly mean and how can I
make the copy-pool-data rebuild ?

Thanks
Christoph
