We reclaim on a daily basis for a finite period of time (in our admin day, it comes after expiration takes place). We do this by resetting the thresholds on the storage pools to 55 percent. When the period of reclamation is done, we reset the threshold to 100 percent. We do the reset using a script that we run from a tool called Maestro but it could also be done with a TSM admin schedule but Maestro allows for dependencies; in this case expiration completes sucessfully.
