Hi *Smers !
I'm facing an embarasting situation since I changed the way our daily job runs : I
start a reclamation job, by decreasing the rec parameter to 50 % on all storage pools
every morning at 3:00.
Two hours later I start a backup stgpool job, on all storage pools too, and what
happens is that most of the backup stgpool processes are waiting for a free drive to
begin.
This should never happen, because of the preemption system included in TSM, that
avoids this kind of painfull sitation : backup of stgpools has a higher priority than
reclamation, so why do I have this problem ? ( nopreempt parameter is set to no)
Did anybody face the same situation, and was it solved ?
Is there a way limiting the number of drives used for reclamation ?
I'm working with two 3575 libraries, each of them has 4 Ultrium drives, we're using
TSM 4.1.1 on an AIX 4.3 server.
Thanks for your precious answers ....
Arnaud
