[SCRIPTING]Move Data with variable

[Arkeon]

Hi everybody,

Fairly new to TSM, i only started working on it for half a year or so and i gotta say that this forum helped me a lot already so first of all, cheers to you guys

Now for my issue. We recently figured that our VTLs were not used properly, some are used at less than 15% stucked in filling status and reclaim won't help much. So now we have a crapload of VTL with sometimes less than 1% used and we're almost out of empty one.

We already came out with a solution to clean a bit:

select volume_name,status,pct_utilized,pct_reclaim,location,access from volumes where devclass_Name like '%VTL%' AND status='FULL' and pct_utilized<30 order by pct_reclaim

Then we can do a move data for the VTL listed by the select.

I was wondering if i can use the result of the select as a variable for the move data? I search around for a while and tried some script but couldn't manage to do it.

Any ideas?

What platform is your TSM server running on?

It would be easy to write a KSH script for Linux/UNIX.
