Backup Central

Good Day Tiago,

That is displaying the current used space on the volume.
They are identified as full and the number before them is the percentage still in use. Any less that 100 indicates some data has expired.

If you run " q vol status=filling" you will see volumes with different percentages used, but all should have the same estimated capacity. Meaning they have not been filled yet.


Regards,
Duane

Subject: LTO4 Tape Volumes with diferent Estimated Capacity



Hello



I have several tape volumes (LTO4) with different Estimated Capacity.
What can cause this situation?



Ex:

A00035L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 629.5 G
95.4 Full

A00039L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 1.1 T
98.2 Full

A00101L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 884.8 G
84.4 Full

A00113L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 1.0 T
93.7 Full

A00118L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 1.0 T
73.6 Full

A00128L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 1.0 T
99.2 Full

A00129L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 969.1 G
93.7 Full

A00133L4 WIN_SRV_T TS3310 934.8 G
96.1 Full





All tapes and Drives are LTO4, TSM Server 553 for AIX.



The devc are configured as:

All based on data types and compression, so if you have a SQL DB backup
you'll be able to compress more data on a tape than Windows bianries or
image type files.

Even if all the volumes were at 100% used, it is very unlikely they would all be at the same amount of data retained, some data compresses better than others. So you may have some at 900gb and others at 1.6tb.
