More specifically: Set up a number of admin command schedules to accomplish this starting at sufficient intervals to allow process completion. That's the hard part.
Time Scheduled operation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- 06:00 backup stg diskpool copypool maxprocess=n 08:00 backup stg tapepool copypool maxprocess=n/2 09:00 update stg diskpool highmig=0 lowmig=0 migproc=n 11:00 update stg diskpool highmig=90 lowmig=70 11:30 backup db type=full devclass=yourdevclass Where n is the number of drives you have. You may want to set this to one, the default, to only create a single copypool tape per day rather than multiple tapes. Notice that setting the migration thresholds back to 90 and 70 will not stop the migration. The schedule times will be variable based on your environment. If you note how long your migrations are running now you should be able to set this up fairly accurately. Now, if you really want to get sexy you can write a script to do all of this. Your script will watch for completion of each step and then start the next step. In the case of backup stg it's easy: you can attach a wait=yes. For migration it's harder. You need to check if a migration process is still running. I believe there is a script in the example scripts that does this for you. Perhaps someone will mention STORServer Manager too. Kelly J.

Then we send the COPY pool tapes offsite. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University - University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - voice: 804-828-4807 "Leijnse, Finn F SITI-ISES-31" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/05/2001 10:03 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: migration to ONSITE and OFFSITE HI, We have had several broken LTO tapes in the last months and so lost a lot of data. To avoid this we are changing our housekeeping scheme. My question is: Can the diskpool be emptied/migrated to two pools at the same time? OFFSITE and ONSITE tape pools. > met vriendelijke groeten, regards et salutations, > > Finn Leijnse > Central Data Storage Management > Shell Services International bv. >
