Hello,
I am having an issue with a tape lto4 of 800 Gb in TSM V6.2.
Basically the problem is that the tape only has used 14.1% of the maximum capacity and the volume status shown the tape as full. Checking the Reclaimable Space i see the value as 85.9%, what i was wonder is that if is possible to shrink this value in order to use the rest of the tape capacity.
Here is the log:
tsm: TSM>q vol UC2000L4 f=d
Volume Name: UC2000L4
Storage Pool Name: DATA_STG
Device Class Name: LTOCLASS
Estimated Capacity: 849.5 G
Scaled Capacity Applied:
Pct Util: 14.1
Volume Status: Full
Access: Read/Write
Pct. Reclaimable Space: 85.9
Scratch Volume?: Yes
In Error State?: No
Number of Writable Sides: 1
Number of Times Mounted: 27
Write Pass Number: 1

To be honest i am kind of new working with TSM and i would like to know why this is happening because i realized that TSM normally change this value by itself.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
