Good Day Folks,
Long time lurker here and relatively new to TSM systems. Love the forum lots of info and very helpful.
A while back due to restructuring was given TSM duties - never worked with TSM before so forgive any
silliness I might spew out.
The TSM system is running pretty well except for a few glitches here and there...
I have a situation that maybe someone can point me in the right direction to find a fix
This is my issue;
I have several active storage pools out of which there are 2 pools always in a critical status since they always appear full:
- WINDOWSPOOL
+
- AIXPOOL
both pools are Primary DISK class pools with their respective TAPE counterparts set as "Next Pool"
(WINDOWSTAPE & AIXTAPE)
Here are some configs that are set for these pools:
To try and solve the problem I attempted to manually increase the storage pools capacity which seemed to fix it for a few days but eventually went back to its critical status and I've been scratching my head ever since trying to find a solution.
Manually setting HI/LO migration thresholds do not appear to do anything.
I have tried manually reclaiming space but I always get this type of error :
ANR4929E RECLAIM STGPOOL: The storage pool AIXPOOL is not a sequential-access pool.
ANS8001I Return code 3.
Searching the net for info related to this never yields any useful solutions.
Not sure if issue is configuration or other, hoping one of you gurus can steer me in the right direction to fix this.
thank in advance,
Walter
