Hi All,

I'm working with TSM server 5.2.3.5 (remote) and TSM server 5.2.1.2
(local) - all on win2k server.  I've set up virtual volumes such that
the remote server is utilizing the local server's diskpool for both
Database and File backups.

Remote Disk --> Local Disk  --> Local Tape.

The volumes that appear on the remote server take the format
SERVERNAME.BFS.9-DIGIT# and vary in size from 10Mb up to 3Gb.  This is
all happening over a fairly slow WAN link (max @ 68kbps).

Basically, I'm having a problem doing the reclaimation of the volumes.
ie. I change the reclaimation threshhold to say 50% and no activity is
occurring.  I've managed to get some action a couple of time but it's
saying insufficient # of mount points.

I have tried creating a Reclaimation pool on the Remote server, but
still no change in the activity.

Am I missing something obvious? Or any ideas?

Thanks everyone!
