Now don't start thinking that "max scratch" simply accounts for the volumes
that show up as "Scratch" during a "q libvol"
"max scratch" limits the number of tapes that will be used that were checked
in AS scratch.
So if you checked in 300 tapes as scratch,
        your "q libvol" currently shows 135 scratch
        which implies 165 private (in my example)
        THIS MEANS only 30 more tapes will be used...
        that is, 105 of those 135 tapes marked scratch WILL NOT BE USED.
        for all 300 to be used, maxscr would need to be set to 300

just pointing this out for clarification purposes...

volumes are in use in that pool?

Gr.,

Karel

hi all,

does anyone have a clue,

I have 13 scratch tapes available in the library, but the diskpool doesnt
want to backup coz it says theres  insufficient space in subordinate storage

pool.
ive checked the volumes which are scratch and theyre still in the library,
not defined to any storagepool and readwrite enabled.
thnx!
