Each Backup Storage pool thread will in general create 1 filling tape
each time it runs. In my case I run 1 backup storage pool thread for
each primary pool each day. Those tapes are then sent off-site. I have
12 primary pools and send about 40 tapes away each day, so I have a
little more than 25% of my off-site tapes are filling. (I did not check,
just a guess)
Each reclamation thread will create about 1 filling tape each time it
runs. If you run backup storage pool after reclamation, then the 1 tape
will get filled.
Sometimes I see a tape that is filling and a process will mount a
scratch tape instead of the filling tape, I am not sure why, but I guess
TSM does not want to split an object to the end of one tape and the
middle of another.

Subject: [ADSM-L] How to reclaim "FILLING" volumes
Hi All,
Thanks for your help!!
I have TSM server 5.3.5 on AIX 5.3.5 with an IBM 3584 library with 16
drives. In my offsite pool I have approximately 300 volumes with very
low utilization but they are in the FILLING state, I would expect them
to be in the FULL, EMPTY or PENDING state. Is there a way to target
these volumes with reclamation? I suppose I could do a move data on all
of them?
