I have mutiple TSM environments, and the reclamation for various onsite and off-site tape pools varies from 50 - 80.
You set the reclamation limits based on how many scratch tapes you need to get back, the natural turnover rate due to version expiration, or the number of available slots you have in the tape library, or all the above. If you don't need more scratch tapes, why bother to set reclamation lower, etc. So the answer, as usual: it depends on your environment ----Original Message----- From: J M [mailto:jm_seattle@;HOTMAIL.COM] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 11:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Reclamation Setting Survey Just out of curiosity- what are you using for reclamation settings for primary tape pool data? Currently we have over 100 WinNT platforms (all in one policy domain)backing up data (1+ TB incremental) to large primary disk pool, which migrates to primary tape, tape copy, etc... The data is a mix of filesystem incrementals and TDP backup objects (database/exchange). Currently we have our reclamation threshold set to 60, but we're curious to know what other similar environments are successfully using? _________________________________________________________________ Get faster connections -- switch to MSN Internet Access! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp
