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 ªInhibit Reclaim Scheduleº de®nes 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 ªInhibit Reclaim Scheduleº 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.
