As of v3, tape reclamation can be done using one drive, provided the admin.
allocates disk space for single-drive-reclamation... see the v3 Redbooks.

The most compelling reason for multiple drives is to allow continued
operation even if a drive failure occurs... and, for server admin.
convenience, a minimum of two drives is recommended.
