Hello: We have a TSM instance that uses virtual tapes as our primary backup data pool. The data on the virtual tapes are eventually migrated to tape. We are currently down to 3 virtual scratch tapes and 6 physical scratch tapes. I noticed that we are not running any reclamation processes on our virtual tape pool. It seems we have a hand-full of under-utilized virtual tapes. I went ahead and ran a manual reclamation on the virtual tape pool and I noticed the output tape pool is a physical tape. I assumed that the virtual tape would reclaim to another virtual tape. Is that not the case?
Could there be a reason why reclamation shouldn't be ran on a virtual tape pool? Thank you...
