Dear Listers,

Because of the holidays in the last two weeks of december (and the lack of
tapechanges because of absence of operators), a customer of ours
de-activated the scheduled copypool-reclamation to reduce the usage of
scratch-tapes in the library. In this way, the only scratch-tapes that were
going to be used were supposed to be database-backup tapes and
tapepool-tapes.

When the holiday started at the 16th of december, there were 26 scratch
tapes available in the (3584) library. When one of the operators checked the
status of the system on the 5th of januari, there were only 3 scratch tapes
left.

With dbbackupexpiredays set to 3 days, and no DRM checkout / checkin
activities during a period of about two weeks, is it correct that there are
20 mountable (db-tapes) waiting in the library on the 5th of januari?

Does TSM always need the  move drm  command to change the status from
 mountable  to  vault  to  vaultretrieve  to  onsiteretrieve ?

By the way: when the command  move drm * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault
remove=bulk  was initiated, 17 of those 20  mountable  volumes became
 vaultretrieve  (effectively  scratch ) immediately.

Thanks for any help!

With kind regards,

Alex
