Hello everyone,

For several years I had not been able to run reclamation on one of my tsm 
servers due to the lack of physical tape drives to accomplish the task.  I am 
in the process of trying to get caught up, but it seems that I just never do.  
Most of my issue is with the copy storage pool volumes which are very 
under-utilized.   It seems like reclamation, even if I start multiple 
reclamation threads, is taking quite a long time.

Is there some other way for me to get the data onto new media without doing 
reclamation?  Can I do a move data from 1 copy storage pool volume to the 
another volume within the same copy storage pool?  I know that this would mean 
bringing the tapes back from the vault, but it is just not progressing as I 
would like with the reclamation processes.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I would like to get this back under 
control.

Thank you in advance!
