I've been reading about reclamation and have a question.

In the Admin Guide (tsm v5.3) under section "Lowering the Reclamation
Threshold"
it describes what happens when the reclamation percent on a stgpool is
changed while a
reclamation process is running.  From what I read, I understand the
following . . . .

If reclamation if processing a "onsite" volume, the new threshold is used
beginning
with the next volume.

If reclamation if processing "offsite" volumes, the new threshold is NOT
used
used during during the existing reclamation process.  It won't be used
until
the existing process ends and a new one starts.

Now, my question . . . . . What does "onsite" and "offsite" mean?

Does "onsite" = primary pool,  and "offsite" = copy pool?
Does "onsite" = volume access of rw or ro, and "offsite" = volumes access
of offsite?

My guess is the latter:  access = "offsite".

What's happening is that we will be implementing direct remote tape drives
to our second datacenter so that our offsite volumes will appear as a local
library with local drives and tapes.

Thanks

Rick
