Time to buy another tape drive for your library! TSM hates systems that aren't designed correctly.
If you have disk space, you could issue move data commands on the volumes needing to be reclaimed: Tsm> move data volumeintapepool tostg=diskpool Poor man's reclamation processing.

We have another one now, about the volume reclamation. The scenario: .A disk pool named DISKPOOL .A Tape Library named ON_SITE_POOL with one drive .Another Tape Library named OFF_SITE_POOL with also one drive. As each tape library (TL) has just one drive, for doing the volume RECLAIM, according to the TSM AG manual, we should define a storage pool with device type DISK and make it the reclaim storage group (RSG) of TL. The problem is that, I think, we should have one RSG for each TL has the RSG has to have the return of the data back to the TL with this parameter nextstgpool. Question: is there a way to make this easier? For instances can I use the two TL for doing the job, one being the RSG of the other? I would appreciate some help on this because I have more reclamation space than the actually used... Thanks Joaquim
