Hi all,

I have a tsm 5.3 server on aix using lto Gen 1 drives.

In some of my offsite storage pools I have some tapes that are showing 0.1 
percent full. Reclamation never pulls these tapes back. If I do a q content on 
them they show no data. If I do a Del vol discard=yes it says there is no data 
on the volumes but still they never go to vault retrieve status. Other tapes 
come back fine just not these. 
How can I get these tapes back? Has anyone else seen this behavior? If so what 
causes it?

Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
