If you are having trouble finishing reclaims, you can step down to force it to do the easy ones first. First reclaim at the 99% level, then 95, 90, etc. for as much time as you have available.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/21/05 2:25 PM >>> I have noticed this. I did not know if it started with the 70% as you said but I know that it does not start with the 99.9%. We have been having trouble getting reclaim to finish. Since it starts with the 70% and does not finish, over time we have a lot of tapes offsite which are 99% reclaimable. And I do mean a lot. I have actually created a process that does a move data on these to try and get them reclaimed. Our version of the server is old and we are in the process of upgrading to 5 something and I was hoping that that was going to fix the problem. Well I guess not. It has been a real problem for me. -- Phillip 320-4462 -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Meadows, Andrew Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 12:50 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Reclamation I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this same issue and if there is anything that I can do for it. I am running on version 5.3.1.6 on AIX 5.1. Storage pools in question are LTO gen 1 Scenario: Copypoola has 50 volumes that are over 70% reclaimable with the percentages ranging from 70% to 99.9% reclaimable. If I start reclamation for copypoola with rec=70 (upd stg copypoola rec=70) it will start with the volumes that are 70% reclaimable and work its way up. This doesn't make sense to me wouldn't you start with the 99.9% reclaimable volumes first? If I do this for my onsite pools it starts the logical way with 99.9% and works its way down. Has anyone else noticed this and is there something I am doing wrong here or is this just the way it is. ******************************************** This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.
