Not sure how to word this question. If you have 'No Limit' set for the four values (verexists , verdeleted, retextra, retonly) in the copygroup, then could reclamation ever occur under any circumstances?
For example, I thought if you had a reclamation threshold for the storage pool set to, say, 50% then when TSM determines that 50% of the data on a given tape volume no longer lives on the client's disk then it will reclaim the tape. But wouldn't the caveat be that the affected files have expired in the database, or they are no longer bound to the four limiting values defined in the copygroup? Wouldn't that condition still have to be met for reclamation to occur on tapes in that storage pool?
