We reclaim on a daily basis for a finite period of time (in our admin day,
it comes after expiration takes place). We do this
by resetting the thresholds on the storage pools to 55 percent. When the
period of reclamation is done, we reset the threshold to 100 percent. We do
the reset using a script that we run from a tool called Maestro but it
could also be done
with a TSM admin schedule but Maestro allows for dependencies; in this case
expiration completes sucessfully.
