Both ideas that I have thought of. However, I was under the impression that once the reclamation had started, changing the threshold would not effect the process already in motion. As for turning off the drive. A) I don't particularly like that as a solution, and B) Our library is in a remote lights out site. Getting someone to physically turn it off would probably take longer than waiting for the process to complete.
Thank you for your suggestions

Make sure your stgpool reclamation level is set high, then issue the cancel process. Then, here's the fun part, go over to your library and turn off or IPL the INPUT drive. Your process will fail out with a read error and you'll be good to go.
I probably wouldn't do this in production without testing if you're using SCSI drives, I don't know how the bus would handle redetecting the drive, but it works great in my Fibre Channel environment. Since I don't know how your environment's set up, use at your own risk.

When I cancel a process that is using multiple drives, like a 'move data' or 'reclamation', the process does not end until the file that it is working on has completed its move from source to destination tape. If I have an emergency restore that is stalled because it requires a drive and all the drives are tied up with processes that are in 'cancel pending' state, is there quick way of killing the processes that are using the drives without stopping the TSM server?
Thanks
