Folks,

I'm a little confused about space reclamation...

I ran out of empty slots in my silo so I had to move some tapes
to a shelf location.

I was really careful to only move tapes that TSM says are "full"
and 100% utilized.

I now see a request for one of those tapes for space reclamation.

1 - Why is TSM calling for this tape?

2 - Should I mark all of my tapes on the shelf as "unavailable"?
     (I hesitate to do this because of problems that may occur if a restore
      is called that needs this tape)

3 - What will happen when expiration runs?
     (Will the tapes be called for?)

Thanks!

DaveZ
