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
Are you using any collocation settings? They can affect your
reclamation efficiency.

This is not true,Can I do a move data from 1 copy storage pool volume
to the another volume within the same copy storage pool?
That is what reclamation does for you without you specifying individual
volumes. You use a reclamation threshold in a command or a storage pool
threshold and TSM picks
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
Hi George,
Doesn't reclamation for offsite copy storage pool volumes write the data to new
copy storage pool volumes from the primary copy? I guess I'm trying to come up
with a more efficient method of getting caught up as reclamation just isn't
accomplishing what I hope it would.
Thanks
If reclaiming copy storage pool tapes which are marked as Offsite, the Move
Data would utilize the data copy present on the in-library primary storage pool
tapes.
Do the analysis of what's happening when your reclamation is running. The more
extreme the collocation, the more tape mounts will
What level are you setting for reclamation. I have found that in a catch-up
situation, it is best to set the reclamation level high (e.g. 99 or 98) and get
the easy (almost empty) tapes first, and then step the value down over time
until you get caught up to a level you want to be at. This
Joni,
Yes it does. I was just pointing out that with the move data
command, you specify the volumes, whereas with reclamation, TSM does the
prework of selecting volumes. This can be time consuming, as David
points out.

Hi George,
When you get behind with reclamation, you end up with many volumes with low
util/high reclaim values. TSM trys to minimize tape mounts by reclaiming
offsite data from your onsite tapes without too many remounts, which can
pull data related to several/(or many) offsite volumes. You can
Having been in this shape before I can tell you what I've done in the
past.
First, A very valid option at this point is to delete the offsite
volumes that are very underutilized and just let the normal storage pool
backup routine recreate the data. example I would start by deleting
volumes that
Does PanFS have a tool like GPFS's tslistall? If it does you can use
that to at least get a list of files to pass to TSM so TSM itself
doesn't have to do a scan. If you can get mtime information you could
even figure out exactly what files have changed since the last backup
and just do a
I totally agree on this. At one time, we had such a time with offsite
reclamation, we would set it to 99, then have a script run checking for
reclamation processes, and bump the number down by 1 if there were none. A
hack, to be sure, but we eventually caught up.

Ah, I've been through this many times. As someone mentioned, stepping
down by setting the threshhold to 99, then 98 and so on over time will
work well. This is assuming you can fit all of your primary pool volumes
into the tape library.
You can use the following select command to keep track of
Also look at reclaim stg Copy_Pool th=50 OFFSITERECLAIMLimit=4
This will reclaim 4 volumes and TSM seems to pick the four at or above the 50%
threshold. We have gotten behind a few times and we use this to speed the
reclaim process. This also reduces the time TSM spends figuring out what tapes
We use TSM to backup our primary research data server. It's a SUN sparc
server with 150TB of data. 51M files, 2M directories, 1+TB / day rate
of change. It takes ~6-8 hours to run the backup on this. As you can
expect, most of the time is scanning the filesystems to find changes.

I want to thank you for all of your suggestions and support! I have already
begun to update some parameters so that I can get more efficient reclamation

Thanks again!

We just upgraded to it this morning at IBM's suggestion to fix a problem
where database reorganization wasn't running. It hasn't fixed the
reorganization but we haven't experienced any new problems yet either.

No. That reclaim process would process a maximum of tapes (if there are that
many 98%+ empty) and then stop.
You would have to repeat the command to do the next four.

Am I handling this incorrectly? Should I be entering a command to do this

Just let me know. Thanks again!
The reclaim stg command gives you more control over the reclaim process than
