Expiration Inventory & Space Reclamation on VTL

[learner123]

I see that none of my used VTL volumes expires and thus soon I'll be running out of scratch volumes in VTL stgpool.

"q v" shows that all of my volumes are 100% utilized.

Is there any setting I should configure or run manually to expire images that have already passed the retention period for VTL?

If I try to run reclaim manually, it says:

tsm: LLAMA>reclaim stg vtlpool threshold=50
ANR2111W RECLAIM STGPOOL: There is no data to process for VTLPOOL.
ANS8001I Return code 11.


Thanks.

Are you using the VTL as online tape pool equivalent? Are you running expiration?

What is your retention policy look like? Depends on your retention policies - and this maybe normal.
