Regular TSM commands I use to manipulate tapepool volumes in and out of library when slots are full and TSM asks for a volume during reclamation.
move media * stg=tapepool days=number of days
This command will checkout tapes that have been inactive for the number of days entered. It will continue to checkout tapes until the process is cancelled.
Once i have empty slots available in the library we now can check in tapes that have been requested for reclamation. Use this command.
checkin libv lib1 volumename status=private
The status=private is needed to let TSM know the volume has data and can be used to append more data.
After checking in the volume and TSM is finished using for reclamation you need to update the volume access and location with this command.
update vol volumename acce=readw location=-

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
