Hi Group. I have a 300GB DB2 (SAP) database that I am trying to move from one site to another using a DB2 redirected restore via TSM. The new site is tape constrained until we can move the drives from the old to the new sites, but we are in testing phase at the moment.
When the restore runs, TSM mounts a tape, restores a small amount of data and then sits there for a couple of hours while DB2 formats its containers. Once these are formatted the restore proceeds correctly. Is there any way to pre-format the containers so that the tape mount is not held unnecessarily, or alternatively to get TSM to let go of the drive until it is actually needed once again?
