This is normal behavior when reclaiming a storage pool that has a NEXT
STGPOOL defined.  I became aware to it when I upgraded to 5.3, I also
have a VTL.  However, being a VTL has nothing to do with it, it's having
a NEXT STGPOOL defined that elicits this behavior.  If you use the
reclaim stg command then there is no delay.  I found an IBM bulletin on
the subject which is how I found that IBM considers normal behavior,
that was 6 months ago so don't ask me to find it again.

Hope that this helps,
H. Milton Johnson

They should both appear as ATL's to Tivoli. The real tape is a Qualstar,
with AIT Drives and Media, and the VTL appears as a Quantum, With DLT
Drives and media. And Both are defined as primary sequential storage
pools. I would expect the behavior to be the same.
