I am running TSM 3.7 attached to a 3494 library (containing 2 3590 tape
drives). The command I use to remove mountable volumes is

move drm * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk

...and this always works fine.

Thanks

Farren Minns

With the "s=dbno" option you are not removing Database Backup
Volumes.  Those are most likely the ones that stay "mountable",
until they are deleted.

Otherwise check actlog at time "move drm" command is run
and see what messages you get.

Every Monday morning at 8:30, I run this scheduled command:

         mov drm * wherest=mo tost=cou s=dbno

An operator removes the cartridges form the 3494 I/O convenience station
and sends them off to the vault.  But the command "q drm" issued
immediately after the move process completes always looks something like
this:

UC0986             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0987             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0988             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0989             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0904             Mountable           10/15/2001 07:01:12   TSMLIB
UC0901             Mountable           10/13/2001 07:01:26   TSMLIB

There seem to always be 2 or 3 cartridges that don't get moved and remained
in the "mountable" state for the rest of the week.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
