If your library is big enough to hold all tapes for your primary tape pools then you should use reclamation. If your library is too small you could use move data because you never know which tape tsm wants next when you use reclamation. To make move data a bit more predictable I've created a script that shows all tapes where the data doesn't span to other tapes. So I can checkin the tape into the library, start move data and don't have to worry wether move data needs another tape at the beginning or at the end.

We need to free up tapes in the pool we have too many tapes in each pool with status="filling" utilization below 28-30% Appreciate any guidance. Thanks, Ashok Vats 916-845-3767
