Hi TSM'ers,
   here a sequence of what had happened with a
TSM-SERVER 5.1.8.1 on an IBM H70 under AIX 4.3.3-11
and 6 months old 3584-LTO2 library with 4 drives

1. SPACE RECLAMATION started as follows:

23.12.2003 03:16:14     ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume
373ABW, storage pool LTO_EC (process number 254).
23.12.2003 03:16:14     ANR1044I Removable volume 373ABW is required for
space reclamation.
23.12.2003 03:16:16     ANR1142I Moving data for collocation cluster 1 of
23.12.2003 03:39:22     ANR8337I LTO volume 373ABW mounted in drive LTO_3
(/dev/rmt4).
23.12.2003 03:41:32     ANR1142I Moving data for collocation cluster 2 of
6412 on volume 373ABW.

2.      Reading errors started

rzds3# grep ANR8359 q.actl.20031223.redu
23.12.2003 19:51:55     ANR8359E Media fault detected on LTO volume
373ABW in drive LTO_3 (/dev/rmt4) of library 3584.
23.12.2003 21:32:05     ANR8359E Media fault detected on LTO volume
373ABW in drive LTO_3 (/dev/rmt4) of library 3584.

...     and continued

rzds3# grep ANR8359 q.actl.2003122*.redu | wc -l
      28
rzds3# grep ANR8359 q.actl.2003123*.redu | wc -l
      10
rzds3# grep ANR8359 q.actl.200401*.redu | wc -l
      14

Until today I got 52 READING-errors, which show up as well in the
AIX-based "errpt.

4.      What to do next ?

        1. Wait until the tape is processed with its 6412 clusters and get
           the missing data from the copy-tapes ?
        2. Can't wait so long because the impact on TSM's DB is very bad,
           i.e. I get only 50% of the normal throughput AND 2 tape-drives
           are kept for another 2 weeks, i.e.
           HALT & RESTAT the server and hope for some positive effect ?
        3. Any better idea ?

With some hope for good response and a HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR
