I have a 3583 L72. I use the I/O door option so I only have 60 slots for tapes. Over the last year the slots have been filling and I can see, not too far in the future, all the slots will be populated and TSM will begin using the "overflow area" option. We have no 2nd/3rd shift operators, and I do most of the TSM 'work' at night.
I currently have reclamation set to 65%. I question some of the policy retention numbers. but may not be able to do anything with them immediately. What reclamation percentage seems reasonable here?...dropping to 55%-60%. Change policy retention values would help some. We migrated from a 3494 with lots of tapes to a small LTO. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Sam Schrage TRW Systems 615-360-4716
