BB017_FREE_EXPIRED
The BB017_FREE_EXPIRED command will free space for the volumes that have
become SCRATCH since last execution:
in the Data Store by deleting the virtual volume image files
in the enterprise backup server storage by running the Delete script
(if this script is configured in the Data Store).
To spread the workload, the delete scripts are submitted to the VTC that contains the
volume image files. If this VTC is no longer part of the configuration, or does not
reply to TCPIP commands, the VTC that has written the volume is preferred. As last
resort, any VTC that is configured as a route to the Data Store will be used.
The command will free storage space for the virtual tape volumes that:
Have a Volume Group configured with Auto-scratch Yes
Are SCRATCH according the DSM/TC, TMF or QTOS catalog specified in their
Volume Group
Are not in use
Are in a PRIMARY Data Store
Have a data size larger than the parameter MIN_SIZE, according to the 'Write
bytes count' kept in the domain catalog.
Notice that this macro will also ‘unload’ tape volumes that were abnormally left in
LOAD state after the tape application using it ended. If the volume was actually
already unloaded by the tape system, the LOAD state is simply reset in the BackBox
catalog.
