Hey All, According to my research and the TSM Admin Guide, a restore process should preempt reclamation when mount points are short. Obviously, I'm not seeing that behavior. :)
Here's my setup: TSM 5.3.4 Server option NOPREEMPT set to 'NO'. I have 2 IBM 3494 libraries. Each library has 4 drives (8 drives total). TAPEPOOL: Primary storage pool is on Reclamation is running for Lib A. COPYPOOL: Copy pool is on Lib A. DRMPOOL : Offsite Copy pool is on Lib B. Scenario: Reclamation is running for TAPEPOOL, COPYPOOL, with MAXPROCS=2. All four drives in Lib A are in use. Lib B is using two drives for reclamation of DRMPOOL, 2 idle drives. Client starts a restore and waits...waits...waits... Why doesn't one of the reclamation processes get preempted? -- Bill Carlson -- Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Anything is possible, HCIS | given time and money.
