I used the "overflow location" once with success when I was in this same situation. Just long enough to put in some scratch tapes and move data. I wouldn't recommend it for normal occasions though.

I have TSm 5.3.5 on AIX 5.3.5 using an IBM 3584 w/16 LTO drives. I have run out of slots in the library and can't seem to get enough scratch volumes in to get any decent move data commands flowing based on pct_reclaim values. Does anyone have any "ideas" on how I could consolidate some volumes quickly?
