Are your disk pools large enough? If your diskpool fills,
then your backups will write direct to tape. Check you activity
log to see what is happening around the time that the extra
filling tapes are defined to the storage pool. What process or session
is first grabbing the tape, and what other processes and sessions are
running at the same time.

I ran into a similar issue and found a new STG was defined and the new
default for collocate is "group". I changed that to none. Then did a
move data on every volume in the "filling" state.

I reviewed every STG for all 4 TSM servers and did not find that issue
but did find a number of low utilized volumes. I'm still trying to
figure out why.

If anyone has any theories on why I have more than "normal" filling
with
low utilization I'd appreciate the input.

Thanks,
Duane

Subject: How to reclaim "FILLING" volumes

Hi All,

Thanks for your help!!

I have TSM server 5.3.5 on AIX 5.3.5 with an IBM 3584 library with 16
drives. In my offsite pool I have approximately 300 volumes with very
low utilization but they are in the FILLING state, I would expect them
to be in the FULL, EMPTY or PENDING state. Is there a way to target
these volumes with reclamation? I suppose I could do a move data on
all
of them?
