Thanks, I figured that it was normal, I was just curious as to why. It didn't make sense that it was the VTL, Since Tivoli sees it as a tape library. I should have guessed, since the only difference in the new storagpools is that now I have a next storage pool.

I became aware to it when I upgraded to 5.3, I also have a VTL. However, being a VTL has nothing to do with it, it's having a NEXT STGPOOL defined that elicits this behavior. If you use the reclaim stg command then there is no delay. I found an IBM bulletin on the subject which is how I found that IBM considers normal behavior, that was 6 months ago so don't ask me to find it again. Hope that this helps, H.

The real tape is a Qualstar, with AIT Drives and Media, and the VTL appears as a Quantum, With DLT Drives and media. And Both are defined as primary sequential storage pools. I would expect the behavior to be the same. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Prather, Wanda Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 2:59 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Reclamation processing behavior >>This really isn't a problem, but I was just curious if anyone knows >>why Tivol treats the two types of storage pools differently. >From TSM's point of view, why do you think they are 2 different "types" of storage pools?
