One way is to use " query media" and "move media".

If you have more than one onsite tape pool, most likely at least
one is not used as often.  Q medai can show list of tapes in a pool
not accessed in more than x number of days.

Then Move Media moves those tapes out of library.  That's
what these 2 commands were designed for.

Trick is, if one of those tapes is needed for a restore or reclaimation,
need to have OPS watch for messages or setup pages, etc.
so OPS knows when a tape is needed.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help!!


I have TSm 5.3.5 on AIX 5.3.5 using an IBM 3584 w/16 LTO drives. I have
run out of slots in the library and can't seem to get enough scratch
volumes in to get any decent move data commands flowing based on
pct_reclaim values.  Does anyone have any "ideas" on how I could
consolidate some volumes quickly?
