This sounds like you are setting the reclaim level too low. Start by setting it higher, e.g. 90. If reclaim is able to process that in your time frame, them take it a step lower, 85 or 80. Keep stepping down until you get to 60 or some point above 60 that takes all of your allocated time. Remember, that when reclaiming offsite tapes, the tapes are mostly not empted until the reclaim process completes. That is why it is important to not set the reclaim level so low that it does not complete. The reason is that for offsite tapes, tsm does not read all of the onsite tapes needed to reclaim a single offsite tape and then move on to the next. When reclaiming offsite tapes, tsm minimizes the number of tape mounts. So when a onsite tape is mounted, all of the data on that onsite tape for all of the offsite tapes that meet the reclaim criteria is moved before mounting the next onsite tape. Since the data for a given offsite tape is usually spread over many onsite tapes, tsm has to work its way thru all of them before the offsite tape is logically emptied. David
