Tape fill stuck at 77%

[seempoke]

Hi.
I'm new to TSM. Help with advice please.
Tape ML3146L6 fill stuck at 77%. It looks like the tape has failed. TSM continues unsuccessful attempts to write data for the third day.
How to properly remove it from the stgpool by transferring the data to another tape?

tsm: TSMSRV_SERVER1>q vol stgpool=VIRT_STG

try moving it off the tape , if it does consider the tape defuncted. - destory the volume after you can recreate it cause you have a vtl ..lol

The TSM command to move data from a tape in a storage pool is MOVE DATA. Here's the general syntax:

MOVE DATA <options>

Key options:

• FROMSTOPOOL: Specifies the source and target storage pools.
• FROMVOLUME: Specifies the volume ID of the tape you want to move data from.
• NODEDATA: Moves all data for a specific node.
• FILESPACE: Moves data from a specific file space.
• OBJECT: Moves a specific object or set of objects.

Example:

To move all data from tape volume 00004A in storage pool DISKPOOL to storage pool TAPEPOOL:

MOVE DATA ML3146L6 try that

1. MOVE DATA
2. CHECKOUT

1. Verify the Tape's Status: Make sure the tape (ML3146L6) is in an appropriate state for removal. Check if there are any error messages or status indications in TSM that suggest the tape is bad.
2. Move the Data: Use the move data command in TSM to move the data from the problematic tape (ML3146L6) to another available tape in the storage pool.
