Anr2111w Reclaim Stgpool

[vvragav]

Hi All,

tsmserver>q volume stg=tapepool


Volume Name Storage Device Estimated Pct Volume
Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Status
----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ----- --------
CIS625L3 TAPEPOOL TAPECLASS 526,076.6 99.8 Full
CIS632L3 TAPEPOOL TAPECLASS 762,938.0 0.8 Filling
CIS634L3 TAPEPOOL TAPECLASS 762,938.0 3.0 Filling

The above pool was using only two tapes. Due to some error, the tape volume CIS632L3 become un-available and the tapepool started backing up into a scratch volume CIS634L3. Now I want to reclaim one tape.

I gave the command 'reclaim stgpool tapepool threshold=10 duration=30' and i get the message
ANR2111W RECLAIM STGPOOL: There is no data to process for TAPEPOOL.

(Even tried with threshold=1)

Anyother way to reclaim the tape?
Thanks all.

Hi VVragav,

did u change CIS632L3 mode to readwrite.

Make sure you bring the CIS634L3 back by updating it.

tsm> update vol CIS634L3 access=readwrite

Then do a move data on the volume you want to reclaim. If you want to reclaim CIS634L3, then

tsm> move data CIS634L3

That volume will then become a scratch volume once the data is moved off of it.

Hi All,

thanks for your suggesstions. My tapelibrary is TS3100 with single drive. Will 'Move Data' command uses the reclaim pool by default..?

hi

Move data requires two drives..

 

[markus]

you can move the data to a diskpool and than back to a tape. 2 steps but necessary when you only have 1 tapedrive.

O.K. I used my reclaim storage pool itself and moved the data using 'MOVE DATA CIS632L3 STGPOOL=TAPERECLAIM'. Before that I specified the lowmig value as 0 and highmig value as 20 for the reclaim storage pool and the migration started automatically.

Thank u all.
