I started a reclamation on that pool yesterday afternoon and it sat there for several hours before it finally started moving anything. I guess I got behind doing the reclamation. But that doesn't make any sense because the offsite pool and the onsite pool have the same settings and the same content. Only difference is that one goes off site.
I use the same settings when I run reclamation on both pools but I run them at completely different times and the times don't overlap. When I run the onsite copypool script the process starts without delay. The same settings for the offsite copypool takes forever to actually kick off. I guess I'll need to keep a closer eye on things........ -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Allen S.

If you've gotten yourself stuck somewhere, and lots of time has passed, you may have a large backlog. In that case, trying little nibbles is the only way to go. You could also approach this from the -OFFSITERECLAIMLimit--=--number_of_volumes- side, limiting it to just a few at a time. - Allen S. Rout
