I have a set of perl/ksh scripts that have automated this. They work well.

The only way I know to get around it is to write a script/select statement to look for the tapes that are the least utilized and do a "move data" on those tapes. I have not automated the process, but have a simple select that gives me a list of all the tapes and the "pct_reclaim" from the volumes table. The "pct_reclaim" is the opposite of "% utilized", so it's kind of a "% empty" value. select volume_name, pct_reclaim, stgpool_name from volumes where status='FULL' order by 3,2 I run this script when I want to predict how changing the reclamation threshold on a storage pool will effect processing. i.e. It will show me how many tapes are above a given threshold and would be reclaimed.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: multiple reclaim processes Is there a way to have multiple reclaim processes for the same storage pool? It seems silly to have an 8 spindle library and only use two of them to try to keep up with my reclaim processing.
