Hi, My site is in the process of doing a new install of TSM on a new RS/6000 SP system. The version of TSM that IBM ordered & shipped with the system is 3.7, not 4.1. Did TSM V4.1 come out very recently, like in the past 30 days? If so, does anyone know if there's a free upgrade path from 3.7

very large file_size causes single drive reclamation to loop

I have found that single drive reclamation can get into a loop when a file is encountered that is larger than the interim storage pool. For example, tape reclamation writes the contents of reclaimable tapes to a sequential volume on disk. If the contents of the tape is a fragment of a file that is

Reclamation Threshold

I am curious as to what you all set your reclamation thresholds at. Mine are currently holding at 60% and at some sites I have the time to bring it down even further. Is it worth it to do so? When does it become a waste of time? I just hate knowing that there are tapes out there that are half

Re: Reclamation Threshold

That depends on the installation. Do you have enough scratch tapes to comfortably get the job done? If not, you must reclaim tapes. The answer really depends on the environment you find yourself involved with. John G. Talafous Sr. Tech. Prog/Anal The Timken Company
