<div><p>Periodically, Sharon retrieves a special set of tapes from the
|
||
|
|
vault. These tapes contain some of their business records that need to be
|
||
|
|
kept for several years. She decides to run reclaim to copy only the active
|
||
|
|
data to new tape volumes. This will save the latest data that hasn't expired
|
||
|
|
on the tape volumes to the new volumes and they will be sent back to the vault.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section">To figure out the volumes to reclaim, Sharon does the following:</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li><span>In iSeries™ Navigator,
|
||
|
|
she expands <span class="uicontrol">Backup, Recovery and Media Services</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>She expands the <span class="uicontrol">Media</span> folder.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>She right-clicks <span class="uicontrol">Tape volumes</span> and selects <span class="uicontrol">Customize
|
||
|
|
this View, Include</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>On the <span class="uicontrol">Tape Volumes - Include</span> window, she
|
||
|
|
selects <span class="uicontrol">Active</span> for the Status field and clicks <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>She right-clicks a Tape volume that she wants more information
|
||
|
|
about and selects <span class="uicontrol">Open</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span>On the <span class="uicontrol">Save History</span> window, she
|
||
|
|
selects <span class="uicontrol">View, Customize this View, Columns</span> and adds <span class="uicontrol">File
|
||
|
|
sequence</span> to the Columns to be displayed.</span><img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>She can now look at the tape volume information and determine if
|
||
|
|
the volume should be reclaimed. She looks for large gaps in the sequence numbers
|
||
|
|
that indicate expired data. (For example, 1 ..... 10 .... 35 ......100 would
|
||
|
|
be a good candidate. 1 ,2 ,3, 4, 5, 6, 7... would not.) She looks over several
|
||
|
|
tape volumes and determines which ones should be reclaimed. Once she knows
|
||
|
|
the volumes to be reclaimed, she right-clicks <span class="uicontrol">Tape Volumes</span> and
|
||
|
|
selects <span class="uicontrol">Reclaim</span> to go through the Reclaim wizard and
|
||
|
|
reclaim the media.</p>
