Shawn, In your virtual volume devclass definition you might try to set a maxsize equal to that of the real storage behind it. This should prevent stacking.

Boldness has genius, power and magic. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shawn Drew Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Virtual Volume assistance We started using Virtual Volumes earlier this year for some new branch locations with no local, long-term storage. As it works, multiple virtual volumes will get stacked into one "real" sequential volume. The problem is that periodically, a reclamation process will require two volumes that happen to be stacked together. On the destination side, it cancels one of the mounts with a "being preempted by higher priority operation", then the whole reclamation fails and the first volume is marked "read-only" As I write this an idea come to the fore. Perhaps I should be using the RECLAIMSTGpool feature. Does anyone else have this problem? Is RECLAIMSTGpool the standard workaround?
