Another way without deleting anything is this. What reclamation percent
do you use? If say you use the "standard" of 60%, then reducing this
to 55% will free up more tapes onsite and offsite.

We have hit a snag on the system where by we need to manually expire volumes
urgently.
Our current policy is for 60 days retention, but we need to claw back some
volumes for
scratch.
If I change the retention period I am under the impression that this will
not age out existing
volumes but simple take affect from the point of change. Is this the case ?
I have been told by a consultant that we may have to delete volumes and it
could get a
little messy. This seems a bit extreme. There must be a way of changing the
status of
volumes manually which will convince the TSM system that the volumes have
expired.
Then I should be able to run a normal expire inventory and let the server do
the work.
Is this possible / correct ? If yes, how can it be done ? If no, what is
the solution ?
I am working on AIX 4.3.3 ML9, TSM 4.2.1.11.
All help is welcome.
Thank you
Jan
