Re: Order of daily administrative events

On the Weekend we have a scheduled job (in the TSM Administrative Command
Schedule) called Reclaim_Copypool_Start that runs the command:
 "upd stgp copypool recl=60"  It runs at 06:00 every Saturday Morning, and
at 06:00 every Monday Morning we run the Reclaim_Copypool_End that runs the
command "upd stgp copypool recl=100"   Of course we do the same for our
onsite pool.  We currently are using 1950 tapes and get about 80+ called
back on Monday Night after Reclaim has finished which generally averages
out to the same amount of output tapes the DRM moves to offsite. daily X7.

Thanks. That sounds like a good plan. Thats interesting about using the
disk
for quicker restores during the day.
I guess I should run some kind of weekend reclaim plan too. I can't seem to
keep the other pools from eating all of my scratch tapes. Do you run a
script on the weekend that drops your reclaim down to 10 or something like
that?
