Fantastic!  Here I thought MaxScratch meant actual Max Scratch tape count not 
all volumes in the pool. There was a total of 212 Tape Vols in the pool, and 
MaxScr was set to 200.  I upped it to 250 and all is good... 

Thanks Again!

How many tapes are already in the offsite pool you are trying to reclaim?
(Includes ALL tapes in the pool, pending, filling, full, empty, etc.)

You may already have 200 tapes defined in that pool, in which case you must
change the properties so that max scratch is > 200.

That will allow TSM to grab another scratch tape and add it to the pool so
you can start reclaim.

I'm getting the error "ANR1086W Space reclamation terminated for volume
volume name - insufficient space in storage pool."  I'm trying to reclaim
the offsite copy pool (tape_backup_copy) The Onsite Primary pool Tape_backup
Has  Max Scratch of 50 the Offsite pool has a max Scr of 200.  We have 15
new Scratch in the library... We have no tapes in "unavailable" status...
I'm only trying to reclaim to 90% which is suppose to yield us some 40
Tapes....

If anyone has any other ideas???  Please???

Thanks Much!
