I would like to expand this question to include Space Reclamations.  Is
there a setting in TSM to tell it that any Space  Reclamations are of lower
priority than migrations and backup stg pool procedures?  I have issues when
a bunch of Space Reclamations will start before migrations and backup stg
pools, even thou the space reclamations were added to the process list after
the other ones.

Anyone know of a way to stop this?

Thanks much
Jay Volovsek

 From my experience, yes it can. One minor nit; TSM doesn't always pick the
most sensible process to cancel. I've seen instances where TSM has cancelled
the BACKUP STGPOOL process that's just started a 40 GB file, and of course
the process must finish the file before going away...
