Hi *, We have 10 tape drives, and two instances with a total of 16 onsite and offsite tape pools. In addition, we use Commonstore for mail. We get frequent complaints from users that their mail retrievals are very slow. Most of the time, they go back a few years and this data is on tape. When checking both instances we see that reclamations are running and hogging the tape drives, in addition to any miscellaneous restores that may have be initiated and Commonstore joins the queue. Aside from limiting the number of reclamation processes initiated by each tape pool and maybe using reclaim stgpool to put a duration, has anyone else had to deal with Commonstore retrieval issues ?
