Reclaim Threshold

TSM can reclaim volumes that exceed a reclamation threshold--that is, a percentage of unused space on the volume. This threshold value is set by the administrator, within IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM).

Next Storage Pool

The storage pool that is next in line for backups when the current pool reaches capacity--that is, the destination storage pool for migrated data. IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM)automatically requests a storage pool when needed.

Max Scratch

The maximum amount of scratch space allocated to the storage pool. When the number of scratch volumes that IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM)is using for the storage pool exceeds the maximum number of scratch volumes specified, the storage pool can run out of space.
