Dear all,

looking at LAST_WRITE_DATE or LAST_READ_DATE of my tapes (some are in
2004), I'd like to move the data of tapes last accessed more than one
year to other tapes in the same storage pool to verify the health of the
tapes.

Is there any function inside TSM doing this automaticly?

if not, does anyone know / have a tool doing this?

my first attemp was to write a shell script extracting the tape's names
from the TSM-DB and run a MOVE DATA, but making this nice (e.g. like the
reclamation), it seems to become complex :-(


Second, how often should I move the data? once a year, more or less often?

thanks & best regards,

Bjørn
