Hi!

I am running reclamation for a copy pool and there are two tapes in the
pool that have reclaimed all of the data except for the last 1%.
Reclamation runs and pulls these volumes in about every hour(I don't have
reclamation jobs set to run at certain times).

04/01/2002 00:56:46   ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 491674,

                       storage pool TAPECOPYSPMGNT (process number 12).

04/01/2002 00:56:46   ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 483401,

                       storage pool TAPECOPYSPMGNT (process number 12).

04/01/2002 01:31:38   ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 491674,

                       storage pool TAPECOPYSPMGNT (process number 16).

                       storage pool TAPECOPYSPMGNT (process number 18).

I brought the tapes back from the vault and tried to do a MOVE DATA, but
when I try this I get the message:  ANR2209W Volume 483401 contains no
data.

When I do a q vol I get the following:

Volume Name               Storage      Device      Estimated    Pct
Volume
                          Pool Name    Class Name   Capacity   Util
Status
                                                        (MB)
------------------------  -----------  ----------  ---------  -----

483401                    TAPECOPYS-   TAPEOFF3-    11,427.6    1.0    Full
483401                    TAPECOPYS-   TAPEOFF3-    11,427.6    1.0    Full

                           PMGNT        590


Which leads me to believe that there is information on the tape.  I have
even also tried to delete the information off of the tape and that doesn't
work either.  I don't know what else to do to get these tapes to scratch.
Any suggestions??  Thanks!!!
