Buttons
Reclaim. Press this button to start the reclaim utility program on the indicated storage class. Tape
volumes that are described as EMPTY, and are not retired, will be reclaimed. Status messages are
displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the window at the start and end of the reclaim.
SSM invokes the reclaim utility program and passes it the storage class and number of tape volumes to
be reclaimed, as entered on the Reclaim Virtual Volumes window. The utility program selects empty tape
volumes from the storage class until it selects the required number or the supply of empty volumes is
exhausted. The volumes are reclaimed and immediately become available for use.
The reclaim utility can also be invoked as a command line utility. Used this way, the user has more
flexibility in choosing options and can monitor the program's progress. Refer to the reclaim man page for
more information on how to invoke the utility.
