A little more explanation is needed.
I have over 850 tapes and a library which holds only 180 tapes. Of these
tapes over 350 are in primary storage pools. As you can see I can not place
all my primary storage pool tapes in the library. I only have a window of
around 6 hours where an operator is available to place tapes in the library
when required. This 6 hour time window is not long enough to keep up with
tape reclamation, so I need to perform reclamation unattended. I'd like to
do this using Move Data for volumes where I know all tapes are in the
library, but I need to know what tapes will be need.
Thanks Ray
