Having a fewer number of storage pools makes managing the TSM server a bit easier from a sys admin standpoint.

Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 9:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Consolidating disk/tape pools I know this has been discussed somewhat recently so I thought I'd see if anyone who might have changed and gone this route has any comments. I've been thinking about combining 3-4 disk/tape pools into one. I thought I might get better usage of the disk as a whole, instead of some being 30% full and others overflowing and having to dump to tape during the backups. If you've had any good or bad experience with this could you pass it on please? I would guess from time to time I could "move data" to get the tapes to all combine. I also think that after time it would all migrate on its own through reclamation right? I have co-location on for the onsite tape pools only. Any info is appreciated.
