why don't you increase the maxscratch value
1.update the stgpool with reclaim=100 (i.e no reclamation)
2.cancel the reclamation
>q proc
>cancel <reclamationprocessnumber>
>q proc (make sure the process is cancelled or not)
3.Increase the maxscratch to 50
>update stg <stgpoolname> maxscratch=50
4.Make sure labled scratch volumes are available in Library
>label libvol <libname> search=bulk checkin=scratch
labelsource=barcode overwrite=yes
5.update stgpool with reclaim=60 (or whatever u like)

Check the maxscratch parameter on the tech_tape_pool storage pool with q
stg tech_tape_pool f=d
You can either increase this number with upd stg to allow more scratch
tapes to be used by this pool, or use define volume to explicitly add
volumes to the pool.
Once you have done that your reclaim should work.

Hi All,
I have a big problem here. Help requested.
I have a 3583 LTO library with 2 drives. TSM Server v4.2 on AIX.
I have been running Scheduled backups without any problems so far.
Yesterday the server started reclamation process for one of the Storage
pools as shown below.
784 Space Reclamation Volume 053ABS (storage pool TECH_TAPE_POOL),
Moved Files: 0, Moved Bytes: 0, Unreadable
Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Current
Physical
File (bytes): 10,487,404
Waiting for mount of
input volume 053ABS (68221 seconds).
Some of the activity log entries are :
ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume 053ABS,
storage pool TECH_TAPE_POOL (process number 723).

10/06/02 14:06:26 ANR1086W Space reclamation terminated for volume
053ABS -
insufficient space in storage pool.
The volume status shows no errors with the volume.
Volume Name 053ABS
Storage Pool Name TECH_TAPE_POOL
Device Class Name ULTRIUM
Estimated Capacity (MB) 137997.9
Pct Util 0.0

Access READWRITE
Pct. Reclaimable Space 99.9
Scratch Volume? Yes
In Error State? No
Number of Writable 1

Even though both the tape Drives are free, and a scratch volume is made
available, all the migration processes are Held up.
Could somebody help me understand & suggest a solution to the problem here.
Thanks in advance
