Hi, Burak. The Admin Guide, in Chapter 9, Managing Storage Pools and Volumes, the section "Reclaiming Space in Sequential Access Storage Pools" > "Reclamation for Copy Storage Pools" > "Reclamation for Offsite Volumes" explains what happens. It's on page 156 of my Admin Guide 4.2 for AIX. It basically says that for onsite volumes, reclamation usually happens when status="FULL" and when the percent reclaimable is greater than the stgpool's reclamation percentalge. For volumes with access="OFFSITE", it doesn't bother with the Full part, it just compares the pct_reclaim. I hope this answers your question.

As the volumes become "FULL" they will be reclaimed when the data is low (define in pool's RECLAIM value) even if they are offsite copies. The primary pool volumes onsite will be used and reclaimed EMPTY copy pool volumes will be returned. Now my point comes. I have a schedule to backup primary pool every day to copy pool. I have one FILLING volume everyday to send to offsite. Then, there will be 20 volumes offsite (with FILLING status, and very little data on it) What is the DRM's solution to reclaim such volumes? Is it to bring them onsite and use �"MOVE DATA" command? Regards, Burak
