Hi,

I'm only new to TSM and on a bit of a steep learning curve.

We have a scheduled job each Friday to reclaim our copy pool tapes (update
stg backup_copy_pool reclaim=75), the process starts and the output volume
is mounted OK however the server wait for the input (60K+ seconds).  I've
pasted some output from the console below...

q proc
Process Description      Status

--------------------     -------------------------------------------------
Space Reclamation        Offsite Volume(s) (storage pool
                          BACKUP_COPY_POOL), Moved Files: 0, Moved Bytes:
                          0, Unreadable Files: 564, Unreadable Bytes:
                          10,214,383. Current Physical File (bytes):
                          180,031,126

                          Waiting for mount of input volume 476AFXL1 (821
                          seconds).

                          Current output volume: 505AFXL1.

q mount
ANR8379I Mount point in device class LTOCLASS1 is waiting for the volume
mount to complete, status:
WAITING FOR VOLUME.
ANR8330I LTO volume 505AFXL1 is mounted R/W in drive LTO_DRIVE1 (\\.
\TAPE0), status: IN USE.
ANR8334I         2 matches found.

I know I'm missing something real simple here, I've search a number of
forums (including this lists archives) but I may be entering the wrong
search parameters

Any assistance you can provide is much appreciated.

cheers
Stephen
