Re: CopyStoragePool tapes not expiring?

I've also noticed that empty tapes that are in offsite status will not
release. I run this script once per day to make sure that empty offsite
tapes go to scratch:


Name           Line       Command
               Number
----------     ------     --------------------------------------------------
----------
----------
EMPTYVAUL-     1          upd vol * access=readwrite wherestatus=pending
EMPTYVAUL-     1          upd vol * access=readwrite wherestatus=pending
 TRETURN                   wherestgpool=copyvault whereaccess=offsite
               5          upd vol * access=readwrite wherestatus=empty
                           wherestgpool=copyvault whereaccess=offsite

Make sure you use "WHEREACCESS=OFFSITE", as I am above, when you do a global
vol change. Originally, I was just doing "UPD VOL * ACCESS=READWRITE
WHERESTGPOOL=COPYVAULT WHERESTATUS=EMPTY" and *SM would overflow the console
buffers! By being very specific you do not try to update volumes that are
already in the status you wish.

+ Hi,
+
+         I seem to have a problem with some of my
+ 'copystoragepool' tapes.
+ Whenever i check out these tapes, I update the volumes as
+ access=offsite,
+ but it seems that when the original tape expires, they do
+ not. See below for
+ an example. SA2_006 already has 0.0% Pct Util and has a
+ volume status of
+ 'Empty' but when I tried to check the tape in a scratch
+ volume, TSM does not
+ allow me to do it. Can anyone suggest a solution? I'm out of
+ scratch volumes
+ already. Not a good thing. :-(
+
+ Thanks in Advance.
