When we audit the tape there are files on it:
30-08-2013 08:46:04 ANR0984I Process 48 for AUDIT VOLUME (REPAIR) started in
the BACKGROUND at 08:46:04. (SESSION: 19594, PROCESS: 48)
30-08-2013 08:46:04 ANR2312I Audit Volume (Repair) process started for volume
QW5704L3 (process ID 48). (SESSION: 19594, PROCESS: 48)
30-08-2013 08:46:21 ANR4132I Audit volume process ended for volume QW5704L3;
840 files inspected, 0 damaged files deleted, 0 damaged
files marked as damaged, 0 objects updated. (SESSION:
19594, PROCESS: 48)
When we scratch the tape, (with discard contents) the next day with the houskeeping a new scratch tape in the copypool is used because of the difference between Primary and copy storage pool
So we have again a tape back with no contents on it with: q cont <volume> but with audit the there are files on it.
We have the same on about 11 tape.
How can we see what is on the tape?
How is this possible?
How can we get rid of it?
