Error description

• When running space reclamation with multiple processes, there
  can be a time, where due to files spanning multiple volumes,
  that one of the processes has to wait for a lease of one of the
  spanned volumes which another reclamation process holds the
  lease.
  
  
  For example, space reclamation of file pool FILE_POOL is started
  with 2 processes and
  process 54 waits for the lease to the volume in use by process
  55.
  
  
  ANR1040I Space reclamation started for volume
   /storage1/volume1.BFS, storage pool
   FILE_POOL (process number 55). (SESSION: 127843,
   PROCESS: 55)
  
  ANR1042I Space reclamation for storage pool FILE_POOL
  will be retried in 60 seconds. (SESSION: 127843, PROCESS:
  54)
  
  ANR1044I Removable volume /storage1/volume2.BFS
  is required for space reclamation. (SESSION: 127843,
  PROCESS: 55)
  
  Process 54 will repeat to the activity log, every 60 seconds:
  ANR1042I Space reclamation for storage pool FILE_POOL
  will be retried in 60 seconds. (SESSION: 127843, PROCESS:
  54)
  until it is granted the lease to the volume it requires.
  
  This behaviour can extend the time is takes to reclaim the
  storage pool.
  
  
  
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Tivoli Storage Server Versions Affected:  6.3.x and 7.1.x on all
  supported platforms
