Can someone confirm that this is done immediately and not when
expiration runs? Maybe a client expired THE file that held a tape at 50%
and thus that tape went to 51% reclaimable.
very well possible. Alternatively, you could have a volume that was
being reclaimed, but reclaim failed for some reason, and after a few
days of (re-)trying, TSM finally succeded in reclaiming that tape.

David,
"I'll ask the obvious. Any chance you copypool reached 100% triggering
a
reclaim?"
The reclamation ran on a primary storage pool. There is nothing
*obvious*
that could have pushed ONE tape over the pool's 50% reclamation
threshold
during the midnight to 1:00 am period when reclamation launched.
Reclamation ran on that one volume only. During our maintenance cycle,
which is running now, that particular pool can reclaim as many as 30
volumes.
Thanks.
