Double check the Drive and Path configurations
Be certain that the existing tapes are accurately defined in the new
device class.

Have you ever used the "Reclaim" command?  You can force start a
reclamation process that way also:

Syntax

>>-RECLaim STGpool--pool_name--+----------------------+--------->
                               '-THreshold--=--number-'

                             .-Wait--=--No------.
>--+----------------------+--+------------------+--------------->
   '-DUration--=--minutes-'  '-Wait--=--+-No--+-'
                                        '-Yes-'

>--+-------------------------------------------+---------------><
   '-OFFSITERECLAIMLimit--=--number_of_volumes-'

Subject: [ADSM-L] Reclamation Processing won't start

We recently upgraded our tape drives.  I have verified that the new
device class has a sufficient # of mount points, we have plenty of
scratch volumes assigned to the tape pool.  I run a query and see where
we have 36 possible tape returns running reclamation at 99%.  I also
verified volumes were in readw status.
I manually adjust the stg pool to desired reclamation value and nothing
happens.  No error message ................ no mention of reclamation in
the actlog ....... zippo.  Tried both an onsite tape pool and offsite
copypool.  Frustrating.   What am I missing?

thanks,
M
