"Mountable" tapes are going straight to "Vault retrieve"

[c!w]

Hi,
Recently I recognized a strange behavior by drmedia. I think I'm doing something wrong :redface:

That's the inital situation.

tsm: SERVER1>q drmedia

Volume Name          State                 Last Update             Automated
                                           Date/Time               LibName
----------------     -----------------     -------------------     ----------------
PHB001L4             Vault                 2008-05-26 07:11:09
PHB004L4             Vault                 2008-05-26 07:13:25
PHB011L4             Mountable             2008-05-27 08:54:09     LB0.1.0.5
PHB021L4             Mountable             2008-05-27 06:50:17     LB0.1.0.5
PHB000L4             Vault                 2008-05-26 07:14:29
PHB014L4             Vault                 2008-05-26 07:15:33
PHB003L4             Mountable             2008-05-21 06:50:38     LB0.1.0.5
PHB002L4             Mountable             2008-05-20 06:50:38     LB0.1.0.5

I'm doing a checkout of my drmedia.

tsm: SERVER1> move drmedia * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk wait=yes

After the checkout, PHB003L4 and PHB002L4 changed straight to "Vault retrieve".

tsm: SERVER1>q drmedia

PHB014L4             Vault                 2008-05-26 07:15:33
PHB003L4             Vault retrieve        2008-05-27 10:42:13
PHB002L4             Vault retrieve        2008-05-27 10:43:17

PHB003L4 and PHB002L4 are now in the I/O station (bulk) of my tape library.

I expected, that these two tapes are not moved to the bulk, because they are expired?
Is there a way, that these two tapes are not moved to the bulk?

Thanks,
Chris

I think no.
In general you can return tape with state vault retrive only when all Vault tapes are on vault location.
In you situation you data exired before you move volumes offsite.
You can use option "reusedelay" in COPY pools for prevent this situation.

Fore return tape back you can use this simple script ( i don't test it, but i think it's work)

run this script:
MOVe DRMedia * WHERESTate=VAULTR TOST=OSITERETRIVE cmd="checkin libvol <libname> &vol status=scratch SEARCH=Bulk" cmdfilename=c:\drm\checkin.cmd
run file checkin.cmd for checkin tapes.
