Hi forum,

I'm having some trouble moving database snapshot volumes when specifying the media. If I use:

move drmedia XYZXYZ source=dbs wherestate=mountable remove=bulk tostate=vault wait=yes

It fails with the following:

ANR0984I Process 96 for MOVE DRMEDIA started in the FOREGROUND at 06:12:43 PM.
ANR0609I MOVE DRMEDIA started as process 96.
ANR0610I MOVE DRMEDIA started by ADMIN as process 96.
ANR6696I MOVE DRMEDIA: CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME for volume A00387L5 in library LIBRARY starting.
ANR0611I MOVE DRMEDIA started by ADMIN as process 96 has ended.
ANR0985I Process 96 for MOVE DRMEDIA running in the FOREGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 06:12:47 PM.
ANS8001I Return code 4.

I'm a bit stumped now, it works fine with the copy volumes going offsite as follows:

move drmedia XYZXYZ wherestate=mountable remove=bulk tostate=vault wait=yes

But again this fails with the dbsnapshot volumes:

tsm: TSM01>move drmedia A00387L5 wherestate=mountable remove=bulk tostate=vault wait=yes
ANR0984I Process 97 for MOVE DRMEDIA started in the FOREGROUND at 06:32:25 PM.
ANR0609I MOVE DRMEDIA started as process 97.
ANR0610I MOVE DRMEDIA started by ADMIN as process 97.
ANR6682I MOVE DRMEDIA command ended: 0 volumes processed.
ANR6691E MOVE DRMEDIA: No match is found for this move.
ANR0611I MOVE DRMEDIA started by ADMIN as process 97 has ended.
ANR0985I Process 97 for MOVE DRMEDIA running in the FOREGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 06:32:25 PM.



Any thoughts?

Attempt #2:
Since it is DBSnapshot media you can't checkout it using move drm command without specifying source=dbs

Attempt #1
What was the state of volume A00387L5? Was is used by a process (DB backup)? Was at least one tape drive empty (no mounted volume, no volume in use).
Such command executed let's say during main backup window usually fails because there are are not free drives (all taken by running backups)

q act s=
A00387L5 begint=18:12:43 endt=18:12:47
or
q act
begint=18:12:43 endt=18:12:47

Thanks for your reply. Turns out the tsm server had serious issues and wasn't talking to the library. Strangely enough once these were resolved the above commands work as expected :)
