Seen this to - adjust reclaim percent and # of processes (TSM 5.5.2) yet no reclaim runs. I did get it work and it seems the only way I get it to work is make sure there are no other processes running against those pools like a backup stgpool or migration (depending if you're reclaiming primary or offsite vols. )
Also make sure your Maxscratch on your stgpool is set appropriately )ie there's some left between maxscratch and maxscratch used) Charles -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Howard Coles Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 1:57 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Reclamation Processing won't start If you are trying to get TSM to move the data to a new Tape Format (increased density and/or tape type) you would be better served to run a move data command. I'm assuming you have created a new storage pool if you've gone to a higher capacity drive type. However, 99% means that the tapes have to be 99% reclaimable, or only have 1% utilization. Have you tried bumping the reclaim threshold down to say 90% and see what happens? Also, I'm assuming that TSM uses the new drives just fine for other types of processes (such as migration, storage pool backups, etc.)? Just so there's clarity you might want to give a general idea of how the old and new storage pool situation is laid out, and what you mean by "upgraded tape drives" (could just mean newer drives of the same device type).
