You have to reset the reclamation threshold periodically to something like
50%.  That will set the reclamation process going.  When all the vaulted
tapes that are less than half full have been reset to empty, put the
threshold back to 100%.  Do this on a regular schedule that fits into your
workflow, I do it on Saturdays.

Subject: ADSM ver 3 Tape Expiration


I am new to this list, but wanted some insight into a problem I've having.
I'm also very very new to ADSM....learning as I go.   It got threw into my
lap....the boss said..."here, learn this!".   :o)

I am no longer getting tapes to expire from the Vault.   Bear with me here.
The expiration is set to 14 days but I've got tapes in the vault that are
from years ago.   These volumes are assigned to the copy_dbdaily_pool
storage pool.    How can I get these volumes to expire?   Can I manually
expire them?
