TSM regards the tape as "FULL" once it reaches full status, and until data
is completed expired, deleted, or moved off of it.
Your reclamation process might have been successful if it had a time limit
and reached the end.
As others have suggested, try doing a "move data" on that volser and allow

So new question then... I made a temp storagepool using my tape library,
reclamation picked up and ran, the actlog says that one of the reclaims

down to 17%, but it is still marked as "full" so I still can't use it.

Thank you everyone, all of this was very helpful. I am new to TSM and
honestly still have no idea what I am doing. I think I have resolved my
issue. On disk I had literally no volumes with space but I added some
scratch tapes to my library and created a temporary reclamation pool using
the library.
I think next sequence of actions can help:
1) change some policy sets to reduce expire period (some old data will be
lost!) ;
2) activate policy set;
3) run "expiry inventory" and, maybe, some volumes will become empty to start
reclamation.
Good luck!

If you have a 'filling volume' you can move data from a tape that needs to be

you may need to adjust reuse delay to get this back as scratch immediately.

It can also use filling volumes, but it can't use empty space on full

Being that tight, I would suggest you do not look at reclaimation, think move
data. That way you can pick a volume, and move it to reclaim the space, then
build on that until there is enough space to let reclaimation take over.

This depends on having some scratch/filling volumes available, though.
Based on what Tom said, there is no space at all available in any pool. The

Agreed, but 6 hours seems excessive - that would imply that something was
preventing TSM from finishing the reclaim of an aggregate, or that
completing the aggregate took 6 hours - That should be TERABYTES of data
and many output tapes!

This is, unfortunately, another instance of the information provided
to the documentation people not being truly reflective of what the

Richard - it is not reclaiming anything, because you don't have any
