Fantastic! Here I thought MaxScratch meant actual Max Scratch tape count not all volumes in the pool. There was a total of 212 Tape Vols in the pool, and MaxScr was set to 200. I upped it to 250 and all is good...

(Includes ALL tapes in the pool, pending, filling, full, empty, etc.) You may already have 200 tapes defined in that pool, in which case you must change the properties so that max scratch is > 200. That will allow TSM to grab another scratch tape and add it to the pool so you can start reclaim.

I'm trying to reclaim the offsite copy pool (tape_backup_copy) The Onsite Primary pool Tape_backup Has Max Scratch of 50 the Offsite pool has a max Scr of 200. We have 15 new Scratch in the library... We have no tapes in "unavailable" status... I'm only trying to reclaim to 90% which is suppose to yield us some 40 Tapes.... If anyone has any other ideas??? Please??? Thanks Much! Env Info TSM 5.2.4 AIX 5.2ML3 3494 8x3592 FC Drives
