You need to lower your reclamation threshold on your tape stgpool by typing
You need to lower your reclamation threshold on your tape stgpool by typing
in the following command:  tsm> update stgpool <poolname> reclaim=50

This will free up fragmented space on all tape volumes in that stgpool based
on the % of reclaimable space on those volumes. This will make the space on
the tapes usable again by moving any remaining ACTIVE files from one volume
to another making the original volume available for REUSE!

Note: You must have at least two drives to accomplish this because it
requires simultaneous mounts of an input & output volume. If you do not have
at least two drives, then you will have to set up a reclaim stgpool on disk
(another target pool). See admin guide and reference for more info and
commands.
