Set VTS Management Policies
The Set VTS Management Policies pop-up window allows the Inhibit Reclaim
Schedule, Free Storage Threshold, and Reclaim Threshold to be set.
The “Inhibit Reclaim Schedule” defines when the VTS should not perform reclaim
operations. Reclaim operations require physical drives. This means that drives are
used for reclaim operations at the same time others are used to recall data to
satisfy mount requests. During times of heavy mount activity it may be desirable to
make all of the physical drives available for recall operations. If these periods of
heavy mount activity are predictable, the “Inhibit Reclaim Schedule” can be used to
inhibit reclaim operations for the heavy mount activity periods. Up to 14 entries can
be added to the schedule.
If the VTS must perform a reclaim in order to continue operating, the inhibit reclaim
schedule is ignored.
