You can predefine or use scratch. (Below 5.3 if you are using scratch you are limited to one file system) We have multiple 1 TB file systems on 5.2.2.4 so we've predefined all of our volumes (via define volume). Have you seen the Disk only Backups presentation? http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21193983&aid=1 2. Reclaims are exactly the same as Tape reclaims - set your reclamation threshold and reclamation will be done for volumes that meet the criteria.

Tim: We are looking at using all disk now for our onsite disk pool with our next capital$ buy. Something I've never been sure of - Whenf you use a type=file devclass for backups, 1) Do you predefine volumes somehow, or just let TSM create a new one after the first hits max capacity? 2) Do reclaims happen by themselves, or do you have to force it somehow?

It is fixed (somewhere around 5.1.5.2). -----Original Message----- From: Thorneycroft, Doug [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 4:25 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: DIRMC - Are copypool reclamation performance issues resolved or not. OK, after spending a large portion of my day reviewing adsm-l post going back to 2000, I'm still not sure. Does anyone know if there is still a performance problem running reclamation on a DIRMC random access disk pool? I came across one post that said it was supposedly fixed, but recommended using a file type diskpool to be safe.
