I have about 800 sequential file volumes, about 3/4 of them contain almost no data worth keeping. However, when I try to reclaim only those volumes by specifying a high reclamation threshold, TSM tells me there is no data to process. What am I missing? If I specify a really low threshold, reclamation can shuffle data around for days on end but not a single volume is actually freed up. I have audited every single volume and found no discrepancies.
