To whom it may concern;

We run reclaims manually at this time do to tape drive constraints. I
was running reclamation earlier which I started by updating the
sequential storage pools reclaim threshold from 100% to 95%. I cancelled
the job to free up drives for tape loading/unloading. Since that time I
cannot restart the reclamation on the pool. I have tried setting the
reclaim threshold back to 100% then to 95% again but no process starts.
According to my select statements I have 6 tapes which are over 95%
reclaimable which are located in the library. I have done this before
many times and it always worked (as long as tapes met the criteria). The
activity log shows the command being issued and then nothing happens.
There are no failures in the log. All tape drives are available.

TSM server 5.3
IBM 3584 with 4 ULTRIUM2 drives.
One EMC CDL model 210 attached emulating a IBM 3884 library with 20
virtual 3580 drives.

Any insight would be appreciated.
