Hi,

You do one more move media and check in the tapes as private.

'move media VolumeName stg=* wherestate=mountablenotinlib
wherestatus=fill,full'

You will have to monitor actlog for the messages that indicate that
volumes are needed for reclamation/storage pools backup or becomes empty
etc.

 We have had to do this in the past to free up library space.
Rather than using the checkout libvol command, I would suggest using the
functions within the TSM server to store tapes outside of the library:
the "move media" command.

 Do a 'help move media' for how it works.

 Here is an example command I have used that would check tapes out of
the library from our "I_TAPEPOOL" storagepool that have not been touched
in 60 days:

move media * stg=I_TAPEPOOL wherestate=mountableinlib wherestatus=full
day=60 ovflocation='Bldg26 rack'

#1, what's your retention for this data if you don't need it reuse the
tapes.   #2 if they aren't at 100% do "move data" on them to free up the
tapes that way.   #3 if your solution calls for long term storage then
just check them out and you should be good to go.

Oh mighty Gurus.....

Please forgive my naive question......

We are running out of slots in our library and I have examined some of
the tapes and have found that some of them haven't been read for  1 1/2
years and some haven't been written to in 3 or 4 years.

Can I eject these tapes and store them in a rack?

I tried 5 of them and used the following commands:

update volume <vol> loc=shelf
checkout libv <lib> <vol> checkl=no rem=b

Is this kosher?

Thanks!

 DaveZ
