Greg,

        Reclamation is done on a storage pool basis, unlike migration which
can control the number of processes is starts.  Since it is being done on a
pool basis and is trying to reclaim empty space, reclamation will be more
efficient if it uses only a single output volume and multiple input volumes.
It will also eliminate volume contention for files which span volumes used
as reclamation input.  Migration is also node based whereas reclamation is
not necessarily node based (unless the pool is a collocated pool).

Subject:        Reclamation Data Streams

Is it possible to get Reclamation to use more than one data stream?  We
have four tape drives that we would like to utilize during reclamation.  So
I was wondering if there was a parameter some where to set that to 2 data
streams instead of 1.
ThanX,
Greg
