Re: tape status is pending (?)

Roland,

Be aware that your reusedelay parameter should be the same as the number of 
days back that you keep TSM DB Backups for.

This ensures that should you need to restore to a database backup other than 
the most recent, data will still be where the older DBBackup thinks it is.

Matt.

Hi,

look at storgepool definition "reusedelay" parameter
 "q stg COPYPOOL f=d"
After a volumes comes empty the volume change his status to pending 
if reuse delay is defined on storagepool.

You can delete the volume for reuse.
Regards

Michael

Hello,

has anybody an idea when a tape get this status:

Volume Name 000086L1 
Storage Pool Name COPYPOOL 
Device Class Name LTOCLASS1 
Estimated Capacity (MB) 0.0 
Scaled Capacity Applied - 
Pct Util 0.0 
Volume Status PENDING 
Access READWRITE 
Pct. Reclaimable Space 0.0 
Scratch Volume? NO 
In Error State? NO

If i update this tape, TSM will change it after a few time to pending. Many 
thanks for any idea.
