hi all
just wondering if a reclamation pool is required to reclaim copypool tapes that are offsite in a vault?
i have read that SP will reclaim tapes with access of offsite without needing those tapes back onsite by rebuilding using the primary storage pool.
my initial guess is that i dont need a reclamation pool defined, all i need to do is update the DRM copypool from 100 to say 80 or 90% reclaim, then allow reclamation to run for a while, and then reset back to 100. SP will have the smarts hopefully to take the data sitting on those tapes and from the primary pool, rebuild it a copypool tape (only 1 tape drive in library) to be taken offsite once complete, and bring back any tapes that should be showing as scratched out now...
i just want to make sure that when reclamation happens on the DRMCOPY pool, that it doesnt sit there looking for input and output volumes and never does anything
