Re: [Veritas-bu] Getting Status 96 with 201 scratch tapes

Just so I didn't leave this hanging out there, I had 201 tapes with volume expirations that had expired. It was a good lesson in the difference between data expiration and volume expiration.

Thank you for all of the input!

What is the output of this command: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmpool -list_scratch Is your defined scratch pool what you expected? I run a cron job that verifies my available scratch tapes and sets my pool several times a day, ever since I found there is a bug in the java gui that can set a pool as scratch by mistake... This command will set it for you: (my scratch pool is named scratch_pool) /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmpool -set_scratch scratch_pool ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 09:04:56 -0500 From: scott.george AT parker DOT com Subject: [Veritas-bu] Getting Status 96 with 201 scratch tapes To: 'Veritas' <veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu> Message-ID: <OFC07DD08A.E00282F7-ON852579BC.004CCACF-852579BC.004D895B AT parker DOT com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Here is my environment: NBU 7.1.0.3 on an AIX 6.1 Master (also acting as media server in this instance) My scratch pool has 201 tapes inside the robot.
