Reclamation differences

[crooked]

I've been running reclamation from an admin schedule doing the following:

upd stgp <stgpoolname> rec=60

Which sets the reclamation threshold to 60, to reclaim volumes that are only 40% utilised. Or 60% reclaimable...?

I stop the reclamation by another script that updates the threshold back to 100.

However using this forum (thank the lord it exists!) I have found:

reclaim stgpool <stgpoolname> threshold=<value>

is this the same command as the upd stgp <stgpoolname> as mentioned above ?
i.e to get tape reclaimed that are 20% utilised do I do

reclaim stgpool <stgpoolname> threshold=20
or is it
reclaim stgpool <stgpoolname> threshold=80

Sorry i've lost the plot on reclamation at the moment as it doesn't add upto me.
Separate issue but why do I have tapes at Filling that are offsite ?

For seeing which volumes can been reclaming :

SELECT VOLUME_NAME, PCT_RECLAIM from volumes where PCT_RECLAIM < 20

For exemple, i'm reclaiming stg at 50 in the week and 10 during the weekend for reclaming a maximum volumes.

You have fillings tape on vault ( offsite ) because when you do the DRM process, all volumes with the status mounable goes to the vault.
But all volumes aren't be full after copy !

It necessary to reclaim with a small parameter on the copy pool during a period not used.
