Eric,

On our site we look after this by scheduling.
Best to have a dasd pool large enough to hold a complete overnight backup.
Then use TSM command scripts :-
1) copy your dasdpool to a copy pool
2) migrate your dasdpool to tape pool
3) only after successful completion of  previous two steps use script to trigger
reclamation on tape pool.

Hi *SM-ers!
I've just finished migrating from a 3575 to a 3494 with two drives and I
encounter the first nasty problem.
TSM doesn't give the migrate process a higher priority than the reclaim
process!
Customers were calling me, asking why there backups were stalling. I checked
TSM, there were two migrates (disk to tape) running and waiting for
mountpoints. The two mountpoints were occupied by a reclaim process.
To my opinion a migrate to empty the diskpool is much more important than a
reclaim and so I would expect TSM to cancel the running reclaim. It does
not!
How can I control this?
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
