This will give you a list of tapes under twenty percent utilized from all pools

select volume_name, stgpool_name,pct_utilized, status from volumes -
where pct_utilized < 20 and status='FILLING' -
order by pct_utilized, stgpool_name, volume_name

After that, do a  MOVE DATA VOLUMENAME  to help it along a bit.

Does anyone know whay TSM has this issue with keeping lots of 'filling' volumes?
