Mark, I have a PERL script that I run to issue two DSMADMC commands to update the stg pool high to low value and then back to what the original high was. Because the DSMADMC terminates it commits the change and the migration starts and runs until it reaches the low. This works real nicely.
The nice part about it is that you can change the values of the high and low values any time and not have to update the script. We process everything with an external scheduler so this works well for us. Paul D.

You've got half of the problem solved. You should be running two commands per storage pool to be reclaimed: upd stgpool <stgpool_name> reclaim=60 when you want reclamation to start, followed by upd stgpool <stgpool_name> reclaim=100 when you want it to stop. (It will stop sooner than the scheduled time if it finishes first.) -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
