Hi David. When you run reclamation on your offsite volumes, what is the command you run?
You also said you get a few tapes back, but that you get error. What error message are you constantly getting? And, last but not least, you mention that a lot of the offsite volumes have a percent utilization of less than 25%. I usually run the following query to show me what is reclaimable. select volume_name,stgpool_name,pct_utilized,PCT_RECLAIM from volumes where pct_reclaim>55 I usually reclaim tapes that have min of 55% - 60% reclaimable space. ~james -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tyree, David Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 7:52 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: issue with offsite reclamation Sorry might be a misunderstanding here. I don't have an offsite server. I trying to do reclamation on offsite volumes or trying too. I get a few tapes back sometimes but I'm constantly getting that error message. A lot of the offsite volumes have a percent utilization of less than 25% that should be reclaiming.

Don't combine 'reconcile volumes' of a virtual-volume based copypool on the on-site server with reclamation of the primary target pool on the offsite server. tsm:> reconcile volumes <devcl> fix=yes Keith Arbogast Indiana University
