Hi,

Reclamation of off-site volumes will use:
1) filling on-site copy pool tapes (acc=readwrite);
2) scratch tapes

So, if you do your reclamation before checking out the copy pool tapes,
reclamation will use the filling copy pool tapes inside the library with
acc=readwrite.

Most people will do their reclamation after checkout, minimizing the
risk of losing the copy tapes. 

Regards,

Karel

Subject: only scratch/new tapes ???

Hello TSMers !

Is there a way to force TSM to use tapes with the status 'filling'
instead of scratch/new tapes, so it would reduce reclamation processes ?
Why I ask this:
The copy pool for offsite location (drm) needs to be reclaimed, like
other stgp do; but by using always new/scratch tapes, there is more
reclamation than necessary, I think.

Any idea is welcam, thanks in advance
