Changing the volume reclamation threshold for container-copy storage pools

Edit online

By default, tape volume reclamation is enabled for container-copy storage pools. To ensure that tape volumes are used efficiently, you can change the threshold for volume reclamation.

Procedure

  1. On the Operations Center Overview page, click Storage > Storage Pools.
  2. Select the storage pool and click Details, and then Properties.
  3. In the Reclamation section, set the reclamation percentage and click Save.
    Tip: Alternatively, change the reclamation threshold by issuing the UPDATE STGPOOL command and specifying the RECLAIM parameter. For more information about the RECLAIM parameter, see the commands for defining and updating container-copy storage pools.
    Restriction: You cannot use the RECLAIM STGPOOL command to reclaim volumes in container-copy storage pools. For more information about reclaiming volumes in container-copy storage pools, see the RECLAIM parameter in the PROTECT STGPOOL (Protect data that belongs to a storage pool) command.
