So new question then... I made a temp storagepool using my tape library,
reclamation picked up and ran, the actlog says that one of the reclaims
was successful. when I look at the volume reclaimed its utilization is
down to 17%, but it is still marked as "full" so I still can't use it.
Does anyone understand this?

I think next sequence of actions can help:
1) change some policy sets to reduce expire period (some old data will be
lost!) ;
2) activate policy set;
3) run "expiry inventory" and, maybe, some volumes will become empty to
start reclamation.
Good luck!

In a situation where reclamation will not run because there is literally
no space left in any pool, how do I get the reclaimable space back from
volumes that have reclaimable space? Is there a way I can manually delete
expired data from a volume directly?
