Space on a sequential volume becomes reclaimable as files expire or are
deleted from the volume. For example, files become obsolete because of aging
or limits on the number of versions of a file. In reclamation processing,
the server rewrites files on the volume being reclaimed to other volumes in
the storage pool, making the reclaimed volume available for reuse.

The server reclaims the space in storage pools based on a reclamation
threshold that you can set for each sequential access storage pool. When the
percentage of space that can be reclaimed on a volume rises above the
reclamation threshold, the server reclaims the volume.

This should be done on your TAPESTGPOOLS==> update stgpool TAPEPOOL
RECLaim=50

NOTE:
It is recommended that you specify a value of 50% or greater for this
parameter so that files stored on two volumes can be combined onto a single
output volume.

You can obtain more information about RECLAMATION in the Tivoli Storage
Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide Chapter 8. Managing Stgpools and
Volumes!
