I think the only thing that will pre-empt a reclamation or backup is a
restore request from a client.

Subject: reclamation vs backup stgpool
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
