Hi,
After backups have run and expiration has occurred, you will notice the
PCT_RECLAIMABLE value for tapes increase, along with tapes moving to a
'pending' state where data has completely expired from the tape.
'pending' tapes will move to 'scratch' after the reuse delay for the
storage pool has passed, at this point your count of scratch tapes will
increase.
Matt.

Subject: Re: tape usage
Hello TSMer's
I have a 3494 tape library that is maxed out. We have taken out the
last
60 day usage tapes. We are not decreasing our big backups (Oracle DB's)
from 15 versions to 7 versions.
The question I ask y'all is the one they ask me.
How can I tell that I have received extra tapes back from cutting the
version in half?
Thank You again in advance for the answer,
Bill Rosette
