I think you want to add BACKUP DB in here and BACKUP VOLHISTORY and
DEVCONFIG. I like to do it after step 2 in your scenario. If you do not
have a flat file copy of the VOLHISTORY and a backup of your DB you have no
way to recover.
Reclamation of an offsite volume looks similar to a move data command of an
offsite volume:
tsm: TSMPRD00>q pro
Process Process Description Status
Number
-------- --------------------
-------------------------------------------------
100 Move Data Offsite Volume 422059 (storage pool
CPY_OFF_POOL), Target Pool CPY_OFF_POOL,
Moved
Files: 76648, Moved Bytes: 26,811,502,169,
Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0.
Current Physical File (bytes): 673
Waiting for mount of input volume 420773 (43
seconds).
Current output volume: 422542.
Volume 420773 is one of the volumes in what you call the onsite tape pool.
The proper name for the onsite tape pool is the PRIMARY POOL. You can also
have data from a primary pool copied to more than one COPY POOL. I have an
onsite COPY POOL and an OFFSITE COPY pool because I cannot afford exposing
my OFFSITE copy to being lost in a disaster because I had to bring it back
to recover a failed PRIMARY POOL volume.
Hope this helps.

Looks go except need to do a database backup. We do it at 2.5.
All data in the offsite pool is also in the onsite pool. So TSM uses
whatever is available. If a copy tape is still onsite it can use it. If
not then the reclaim will use the onsite pool to create a new tape for the
offsite pool.
Hope that helps

Subject: Procedures for TSM
I've been studying the TSM manual and changing administrative schedules by
trial and error, but I just wanted to know if I have the order of procedures
down right. 1. Backup disk to offsite tape pool 2. Backup onsite tape pool
to offsite tape pool 3. Migration of the disk pools 4. Expire Inventory 5.
Reclamation 6. Client Backups (run at night)
I was also a little confused about reclamation on offsite storage pools. How
can reclamation run on an offsite tape when it cannot be mounted on a tape
drive? (On a daily basis I have a job that marks tapes full and offsite so
that they are ejected from the silo and taken to our offsite
vault) When I looked in the book it stated that reclamation for an offsite
volume obtains the active files from either an onsite pool or offsite pool
and then writes the files to a volume on the original copy pool. I'm trying
to understand this process, but it's not making much sense to me. Any
explanations?
Thanks!!!
