You do not say is the reclamation performed on primary or copy pool,
collocated or non-collocated, how many source volumes were mounted.
For example reclamation of non-collocated copypool volume reading from
collocated primary pool volumes may require a lot of mounts. And DLT7000
mount time is now so small.

        Subject:        slow moving data from tape to tape


Another tape question.  We are running TSM 5.1.6.3 on nt 4.0 sp6a.  I also
have 35/70 dlt libraries.  When I reclaim data and it goes from tape to
tape some tapes are very slow.  Example: A 98% reclaimable tape can take
me
2 hours to reclaim where as the next tape which might be 92% reclaimable
may take 30 minutes.  Also I migrated 16gb of data from my onsite tapepool
to my offsite tape pool.  I was using one process.  Should I look at my
hardware or is there something wrong with some of the tapes.  Any help on
this would be appreciated.
