Are you reclamation tasks completing successfully? Also, did anyone change
the reuse delay of the OFFPOOL storage pool? Are the tapes in a PENDING
state?

I would check to make sure your reclamation tasks are running to completion.
Maybe check to see if you have any onsite tapes that are unavailable? Q VOL
ACC=UNAVAIL. That would explain why reclamation wasn't completing.

Hi,

It will be almost 2 weeks now that our TSM server (version 5, release 1,
Level 6.4 for Windows) do not retrieving any "storage=offpool,
access=offsite"...

We normally had an average of 1 to 2 tapes every day that were returning
from the offsite storage.

Here is the command:

q vol stg=offpool access=offsite status=empty

Nothing was changed or modified for the last 6 months.

Any clue(s) where to check and what to check?

N.B. IBM Tape library 3583

Thanks
