Lars,

I do not know what is the idea behind sending primary tapes off-site (DR 
??) but this does not help at all in case tape gets somehow damaged. You 
will learn it the hard way - when you need to restore from the broken 
tape.
Migration threshold set to anything between 0 and 100% will not 
force/prevent reclamation. They are just different
You already gave the answer: update the volumes to readonly or readwrite, 
check them in the library and lower reclamation threshold (in any order).
BTW: Subjects are very useful to track answers on a mail list with many 
posts (like this one).
Burak, offsite is for copypool volumes only (look at note 3 for UPD VOL). 
Primary ones have to be unavailable.

yes, you may change the accesses to readwrite and then reclaim but you 
should 
normally use offsite not unavailable access

Hi TSM Guys,
 

I have a customer who moves volumes from a primary storage pool to an
offsite location by setting the volumes to "UNAVAILABLE". The storage
pool's migration threshold is set to 100% for spacerclamation to be
prevented. What do I have to consider if I want to manually start space
reclamation on the unavailable volumes?
Will it be enough to just check-in the volumes, change their access to
ReadWrite, and then start the space reclamation by lowering the 
reclamation
threshhold gradually?
 
Thanx a lot
 
Lars
