Yes... Offsite copy pool volumes will be reclaimed when the reclamation threshold for your copypool has been reached. Tapes with access=offsite and in the copypool do not need to have a FULL status to be reclaimed. Once a copypool volume with an access=offsite has been reclaimed, it will have a status=empty. Once it has an empty status, bring the tape on-site and update the access from access=offsite to access=readw. After you change the status to readwrite, the tape will be deleted from the copypool and then can be used as a scratch tape once again.

Or does it need to have volume status "Full" to be reclaimed ? If it does, how do I circumvent this problem ? TIA for any answers. BR Anders
