Both full and filling are being reclaimed. I have found that because I have local tapes with errors on them, to reclaim some of my offsite copypool tapes, I pull in the copypool tapes that 'will not finish reclaiming' (less than 3% or so), check them in, and do a 'move data' on them. They turn into PENDING once the data has been moved. I send them offsite again, until they are 'EMPTY'. Doing this simi-regularly has recovered many tapes.

Does anyone know if tapes in a status of filling are being reclaimed or are only tapes in "full" status put in the reclamation process? I run reclamation with a threshold of 70 and there are certainly tapes there with less than 30% utilization. I am running TSM 5.1.9 on AIX 4.3.3. Thanks, Ralph
