The biggest problem is that TSM doesn't sort reclaimable tapes prior to assigning them to threads. Your best efficiency is to reclaim the most empty tapes first.
You could use something like this: UPD STG FOOBAR1 RECLAIM=95 RECLAIMPR=5 Wait a while UPD STG FOOBAR1 RECLAIM=90 RECLAIMPR=5 Wait a while UPD STG FOOBAR1 RECLAIM=85 RECLAIMPR=5 Technically, 5.3.0.0 also has a RECLAIM STG command; however, there are defects in it that can cause hangs and other problems at 5.3 base. -Josh On 06.04.07 at 10:47 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

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.
