I think it depends on whether or not the storage pool is an off-site pool. I
noticed with my on-site pools, it stops processing after the current volume
but with the off-site pools, it makes a list in the beginning of the volumes
that need to be reclaimed and it doesn't check the reclamation threshold at
all.

This is exactly how reclamation should work. The high mig parameter
only controls when migration _starts_. If you set it to 0, and then
return it to 100, migration will begin between the two commands.
The low mig parameter controls when migration ends. To do what you
want, you need to drop highmig to 0, and then back to 100 to start
migration. Then, when it is time to stop, set lowmig to 100 and then back
to 0.
I am not certain that the latter will work, as the migration process
may read the lowmig value at start time and then never again. You are
probably better off using CANCEL PROCESS to end migration.
