Hi, Seen a client using MVS---VSM---SL8500 & doing HSM recycle(35).
Thought it was too high. Found: -------------------- http://www.lascon.co.uk/d016001.htm Virtual Tape Principles .... The HSM recycle function can conflict with the VTS reclaim function, so it is best to set the HSM percent valid parameter low, maybe 10%, and let the VTS do the work. ------------------- What are the recommendations? What % are you using? Another client was using 15% using a tape-less VTL (not STK/SUN) TIA, Rez ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
