Another kind of Offsite Reclaim called Priority Offsite Reclaim . It is Offsite Reclaim for user-specified exported physical volumes. Users can make an exported physical volume eligible for Priority Offsite Reclaim by issuing the following library request from the host: 

LIBRARY REQUEST,libname,COPYEXP,volser,RECLAIM 

Priority Offsite Reclaim processing is the same as for normal Offsite Reclaim, but it runs in priority over normal Offsite Reclaim and does not follow Inhibit Offsite Reclaim Schedule. 

If the primary logical volume copies are on the physical volume that is in the Read Only Recovery (ROR) state, Offsite Reclaim skips re-creating secondary copies of them. Copy Exported physical volumes that include their secondary copies must wait for the ROR process completion to be empty. Also, while the ROR process for such physical volume is running, the next Copy Export can be kept waiting until the ROR process completes. 

In the case where the ROR process for a physical volume having primary logical volume copies of Copy Exported volumes cannot recover the primary copies in the stand-alone environment, the copies cannot  be re-created in the TS7700 other than returning corresponding Copy Exported physical volume to the physical library. Figure 13-1 shows the Reclaim Threshold Percentage for a normal Offsite Reclaim.
