Onsite reclamation is a volume at a time. Setting the RECLAIM=100 will not stop the current reclamation PROCESS, but will prevent any more from starting. Unless you cancel the process, TSM will finish reclaming the current volume.
Offsite reclamation is a single process for ALL tape volumes to be reclaimed. Setting the RECLAIM=100 will only stop future reclamation tasks from starting. THe current reclamation process will run until it's finished. It doesn't stop just because you set the RECLAIM back to 100%. You need to cancel the process to stop reclamation that is currently running. There is no duration setting...it runs until its done or you cancel it.

We do this for both the tapepool and copypool. Right now my problem is the copypool takes a long time and is very slow. You can issue these by hand to get reclamation started. ... LOLuck ...

For some reason this week TSM decided to quit migrating data (at least it appears that way) for the tapepool to copypool. As a result I'm only getting 1 to 4 ejects today and needless to say I'm running short of scratch tapes and have backups failing. I have the following settings: diskpool hi=100 lo=60 tapepool hi=90 lo=70 The only way I can try and stay up with backups is to run move data on tapepool and free tapes up so they become scratch tapes again. I don't know if this is enough data, but if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Gene
