<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: Reclaim media</h1>
<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>
