During the transition (in 2024) from hssrv1 (samfs) to hssrv2 (ScoutAM) resources are limits because:

• Existing Tape drives (six per building) are split between old and new HSM system

• We have to copy (rearchive) 600 tapes due to a tape recall
  

• The new ScoutAM does not support automatic unloading after a certain idle time yet. Hence, all drives are occupied and before a stage request can start one drive has to be unloaded (and the tape inside must be rewound first).  This might take a few minutes.

• → Suggestion: Please be patient, staging might take longer than you expect. Take a look at the scheduler to observe the progress.
