Pat,

You no longer have to have multiple drives available in a storage pool to
do reclamation with a version 3 server.  V3 introduces the RECLAIMSTGPOOL
parameter for a storage pool which allows you to specify another storage
pool as a target for reclaimed data.  The feature was added specifically
for storage pools that have only one drive in its library.  I have used
this feature to direct reclaimation data from a 3570 20 cartridge library
to a sequential pool on disk ( and then migrate the data back by specifying
the original pool as the NEXTPOOL for the stgpool designated as the
RECLAIMSTGPOOL.

On the same note, I noticed that the fix for the version 3 reclamation
problem was posted on the FTP server today.
