We recently added a 3494 library (4-3590 drives), which contains all our
local tapes.  I'm still using 2 stand-alone 3590 drives for our copypool
tapes.  The device class for the 3494 (3494class) specifies a mountlimit
of 4, and the device class for the stand-alone 3590 (3590class) drives
specifies a mount limit of 2.  When reclamation ran for the first time,
I expedted it start 2 processes and write to 2 scratch tapes
concurrently, but it's only doing one tape at a time.  That's true for
the local and copy storage pool reclamations.

Is this normal or am I omitting something that will allow 2 process for
reclamation?

Thanks.
