I thought about this question. The answer is maybe in my opinion. how do you know P001 contains all the data what 0214, 0215, and 0216 need? Unless there is a way to compare the data inside these tapes. When P001 is mounted it will reclaim some data or maybe all tapes..
Another question I have is, during reclamation if P001 is not available, does it grab the tape from COPY pool? Sung Y.
