If your collocated pool is completely full, then toward the end of that process
you effectively didn't have collocation anyway as all your clients were being
put onto the last available space.
You must add more volumes to the pool one way or another. If you have no space
in the library then you must eject full tapes and add empty ones.
One thing that I have done in the past is have an extra non-collocated tape
pool as a next pool for my collocated one. Normally this has no volumes in it
but it has a maxscratch value of 1.
Then when your collocated pool fills up you still get the data, and if there is
ever a volume in the non-collocated pool you know you have a problem to
correct. After the new volumes have been placed into the library you do a move
data to get the data back to where it should be.
I hope that this is not too complex for you to understand. The bottom line is
that you *must* add more volumes to your collocated pool.

Dear Steave,
Thanks but that does not talk about my scenario.
My scenario is that :
1- I have stg pool that has scratch volumes=9
2- Eventhough there are other scratch volumes avaiulble in the library but the
system won't use those because of limit in point 1.
3- My backups would fail because it is not picking up those scratch tapes.
NOW:
Are you suggesting that I should increase the number of scratch volumes and
still define/configure overflow location and all full tapes in storage poool
will be moved to that location, and other scratch volumes will be picked up by
TSM?
This way I will not run into full library situation ever.
Please enlighten me !
Kind Regards,
Sandra
