Reclamation should give you a lot of free tapes.
Use the undocumented command "show mp" to display who
uses the mountpoint.
If you can't determine the process/session holding the tape than you'll
have to restart TSM.
Then set the reclamation value of your tapestoragepools below 89% and
you'll get at least 5 scratch tapes.

Betreff: [ADSM-L] Run out of scratch tapes


Hi, I´m new in TSM, I´ve 29 tapes and 2 drives, all of my tapes are in private 
state, some are in filling status and others in full, if I execute the sentence:
 
select volume_name, pct_utilized, status, pct_reclaim from volumes where 
pct_utilized < 20

I get
 
VOLUME_NAME            PCT_UTILIZED     STATUS                 PCT_RECLAIM
------------------     ------------     ------------------     -----------

 I need to make some space but the reclamation process didn´t free some space, 
I´ve executed move data command but one of the drives shows

ANR8376I Mount point reserved in device class DC-SUNL1000, status: RESERVED  

When I execute q mount command.

How could I get some scratch tapes as soon as possible?

Thanks in advance.
 
 
Marcelo.
