Hi TSM Gurus,
I have been losing tapes in TSM viaa DRM - I think.
At least I have been monitoring the volhistory and have noticed my DB tapes expiring after 8 days which is completed via a command in our daily Admin scripts.

Here is my check of the volhist DB's yesterday:

Clearly the DB's are expiring per the command in the Daily Admin script.
But, why is DRM or the Reporting not picking up or tracking?

Hmmm...is the daily_admin script getting in the way of DRM?
Ok - so I removed my entry in the daily_admin script to stop deleting DB tapes from volhist.
I think this is the issue.
Should I also leave these entries in the daily_admin script or alter them?
