'age' of tapes

[rkampmann]

Hi,



we have got external SCRATCH handling with ACSLS.

Now, within TSM server, I try to get the date the tape was taken from scratch into TSM Tape Pool - or in other way the date TSM wrote the first object on it.



SQL queries on table 'VOLUMES' only give the dates of LAST access, but I need the date of first access.

Has anybody an idea how to get the date?



Bye

try the volhist.out file... that will show the date and time it was created. you'll be looking for:



2003/01/21 09:29:03 STGNEW 0 0 0 <devclass> <volume name>

Thank you for your hint.

In the mean time I thought about it, but I hoped for a better way to get the info from TSM-Database.



So I'm going to parse the volhist-file.



Bye



R.

you can use "q act search=xxxx" to find when this volume was firstly used.
