Ron,
   We're doing daily reclamation with 2 copy pools (~30% full per day). We have 
the following settings:
   LTO pool (on site data) 55%
   Copy pool A 70%
   Copy pool B 80%

   The big gotchas with Win2k are:
1) correct device drivers (this can really slow you down)
2) There is a bug (apar 34296 I think) that causes copy pool reclamation to be 
*really* slow if you have files in a DiskPool that it is accessing. To fix 
this, turn caching OFF, and migrate your disk pools to tape (migration 0% 0%) 
before you do your copy pools. 
   
   It took us a while to get the kinks out, but we're flying now.

Subject: DRM weekly reclaimation question


How long should weekly reclaimation of copypools take?  I have a copypool
library of 40 volumes.  I have tried to do copypool reclaimation on a
weekly basis but have not gotten it to finish in a 5-8 hour day?  We are
using TSM 5.1 on the client side in a Win 2k environment.  How long should
I expect it to take?

Thanks for any help.
