Ron, We're doing daily reclamation with 2 copy pools (~30% full per day). We have the following settings: LTO pool (on site data) 55% Copy pool A 70% Copy pool B 80%
The big gotchas with Win2k are: 1) correct device drivers (this can really slow you down) 2) There is a bug (apar 34296 I think) that causes copy pool reclamation to be *really* slow if you have files in a DiskPool that it is accessing. To fix this, turn caching OFF, and migrate your disk pools to tape (migration 0% 0%) before you do your copy pools. It took us a while to get the kinks out, but we're flying now. Douglas C.

I have a copypool library of 40 volumes. I have tried to do copypool reclaimation on a weekly basis but have not gotten it to finish in a 5-8 hour day? We are using TSM 5.1 on the client side in a Win 2k environment. How long should I expect it to take? Thanks for any help. Ron Lochhead
