Hi *SMers, My environment: TSM 4.2.1.11 IBM LTO 3584 with 8 drives and 10 I/O stations. I want to implement such TSM server automation: 1. If there is no migration running, then "backup stg tapepool copypool"; 2. When backup stg finishes, "backup db dev=lto type=full" 3. When backup db finished, change the volumes of copypool to offsite, and then checkout these volumes and the DB volumes; Notify tape operators; If the numbers of volumes exceed 10, then checkout the first 10 volumes, wait for the I/O stations becomes empty and then checkout the others; Any help will be appreciated.
