Both full and filling are being reclaimed.

I have found that because I have local tapes with errors on them, to reclaim
some of my offsite copypool tapes, I pull in the copypool tapes that 'will
not finish reclaiming' (less than 3% or so), check them in, and do a 'move
data' on them.  They turn into PENDING once the data has been moved.  I send
them offsite again, until they are 'EMPTY'.  Doing this simi-regularly has
recovered many tapes.

Subject: reclamation question

Hi all,

It appears my offsite non-collocated tape pool has more "filling" tapes
than it has in the past.  Does anyone know if tapes in a status of
filling are being reclaimed or are only tapes in "full" status put in
the reclamation process?  I run reclamation with a threshold of 70 and
there are certainly tapes there with less than 30% utilization.

I am running TSM 5.1.9 on AIX 4.3.3.

Thanks,
Ralph
