Sir:
According to ibm's apar, it is a problem decrementing the volumes used count
after the volume is deleted.
There are two possible fixes here.
1. reboot server frequently.
2. increase your maxscratch settting on tape pools to such a degree that you
will never come close.
Number 2 has a problem if you have only a limited number of scratch tapes. Tsm
often pulls a scratch when many parcially fillled tapes are still available,
and thus you have "tape leak"
See Richard's quickfacts for more info on this phenomenon.
I chose option 2, increasing maxscratch. I am using a 3494, and we are
changing to 3590e drives from b. This will effectively double our stape
capacity in one fell swoop.
By the way, I upgraded from 5.1.9 to 5.2.2 using the installation cd, then
installed 5.2.4 over the top with no major problems.
What version of solaris are you using?

Sorry, just read the APAR and I see I just need to increase the MAXSCRATCH
variable.

Just ran into this a couple of weeks ago. Server v5.2.7 on solaris 2.8.
However looks like it effects all platforms.
Below is the message from tsm support I received last night.

Gary,
I have researched this problem further and found that there is an APAR for this
problem.
APAR IC48456 addresses this problem:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=%2bIC48456&uid=swg1IC48456&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=all
This is projected to be fixed in version 5.2.8. I will monitor the progress of
this APAR for you.
Hope this helps someone out there.
