I'm starting to run into a problem on reclaims and I'm looking for
suggestions.

I use Quantum DLT-7000 drives, and my data seems to compress well. I now
have off-site copy volumes that should be reclaimed. How do I indicate that
I want reclamation done on the volumes that are less than 50% full (and at
35 GB) (less than 17 GB to reclaim) but NOT reclaim the volumes that are
between 25 and 40% full (and at 100+ GB) (25 to 40+ GB to reclaim).

If I set maxcap for the device class, does ADSM stop writing at maxcap?
According to the on-line help, maxcap must be less than 64 GB; I've hit 115
GB on these tapes and (for assorted reasons) don't want to limit them to 64
GB.

Or do I just give up on ADSM reclaim and write some scripts to do move data
commands against off-site tapes with less than 20 GB on them?

TIA
