Questions: (j) Can I use reclaimation when I have got only i1 tape drive and the reclamation pool is to another sequential stgpool?
We can do manual reclamation using file device class(sequential), ref Admin guide for instructions. (ii) what is the meaning of insufficient mount points in the message. For info, my client nodes are defined with a max no of 2 mount points. For auto reclamation you must have minimum two tape drives in your library. (iii) Why TSM is not loading the required volume when the tape is alaready in the library? Library does not have two drives to load source and target tapes for auto reclamation.

My setup is as follows: I run a daily backup for around 200 GB on LTO tapes. I permanently have 3 tapes in a 3590 library defined to a stgpool (UATPOOL). I want to keep the last 3 copies. So I am using the expiry features and want to use reclamation to recover the recalimable space so that my automated backups goes continuosly on these 3 volumes. My problem is that I am geeting the following messages : ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume UATHOT01, storage pool UAT_POOL (process number 39). ANR1044I Removable volume UATHOT01 is required for space reclamation. ANR0985I Process 39 for SPACE RECLAMATION running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 16:13:35. ANR1082W Space reclamation terminated for volume UATHOT01 - insufficient number of mount points available for removable media. ANR1042I Space reclamation for storage pool UAT_POOL will be retried in 60 seconds. ANR1043I Space reclamation retry delay ended; checking volume reclamation status for storage pool UAT_POOL. Questions: (j) Can i use reclaimation when i have got only i1 tape drive and the reclamation pool is to another sequential stgpool? (ii) what is the meaning of insufficient mount points in the message. For info, my client nodes are defined with a max no of 2 mount points. (iii) Why TSM is not loading teh required volume when the tape is alaready in the library?
