Hi,
I had some jobs stall b/c of no volumes available for recycling. But there were two volumes in the pool (Differential) that were last written to beyond the 7 day volume retention period. Volumes in the pool are set to recycle. Below is the info on volumes and the Differential pool. As far as I can tell, the pool and volumes are properly setup for automatic recycling after 7 days.
Why might volumes L50023 and L50024 not been automatically recycled?
(Today I manually purged volume L50023 and then manually changed the status to 'Recycle' after the jobs did not resume. Then 2-3 hours or so later, the jobs resumed using L50023. Note that L50024 also wasn't automatically recycle. I haven't done anything to it today.)
Thanks for any help!
