John,

Do you have enough scratch volumes available in the dedup pool? Could you please provide output from these commands:q stg deduppool f=d and  q devc <file device class> f=d

 

Best Regards,

We have 2 storage pools. A BACKUPPOOL and a DEDUP pool. All nightly backups come into the BACKUPPOOL and then migrate to the DEDUP pool for permanent storage. All volumes in the DEDUP pool are showing FULL although the pool is only 69% in use. I tried doing a move data on a volume in the DEDUP pool to the BACKUPPOOL just to free space so reclamation could run, and although it says it ran to successful completion, the volume still shows as FULL. So for whatever reason, all volumes in the DEDUP pool are never freeing up. I ran an audit on the same volume I tried to the MOVE DATA command on and it also ran to successful completion. No idea what is going on here but hopefully someone else has an idea. If our BACKUPPOOL fills up, we can't back anything up any more and we will have a catastrophe. The BACKUPPOOL is roughly 15T  and 15% full and I have no way to increase it.
