We are running TSM 5.3.0.0 ser ver on AIX 5.3.0 with 10 LTO drives in a 3584 library. We have 10 lto storage pools ( sequential) we always have two prime stg tape pools in the library and we rotate 3 offsite tape pools on weekly basis. We are always very low on the Scratch tape we run reclamation using TSM admin. schedule. Would like to optimize to take full advantage of 10 drives and also if TSMers would like to share any BKM ( Best known methods) for reclamation process implementation. Each pool is roughly 100 tapes.
Thanks Ashok
