Hi George, I am using collocation for my onsite primary storage pools, but not my offsite copy storage pools. I think this is just a build up of not being able to run reclamation for about 2 years and I just never seem to be able to get caught up so in turn I'm using a lot of tapes offsite and it's just not necessary.
I was hoping running reclamation with more processes per offsite storage pool as well as running it more frequently would help, but so far it is not. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Huebschman, George J.

They can affect your reclamation efficiency. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Moyer, Joni M Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 8:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Reclamation for offsite storage pools Hello everyone, For several years I had not been able to run reclamation on one of my tsm servers due to the lack of physical tape drives to accomplish the task. I am in the process of trying to get caught up, but it seems that I just never do. Most of my issue is with the copy storage pool volumes which are very under-utilized. It seems like reclamation, even if I start multiple reclamation threads, is taking quite a long time. Is there some other way for me to get the data onto new media without doing reclamation? Can I do a move data from 1 copy storage pool volume to the another volume within the same copy storage pool? I know that this would mean bringing the tapes back from the vault, but it is just not progressing as I would like with the reclamation processes. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I would like to get this back under control. Thank you in advance!
