HI all, I'm running TSM server 4.2.3.3 on aix 5.1. TSM 5.2 testing starts as soon as the media arrives.
I currently have several tape pools and associated copy pools writing to a 3494, all using the same device class. Copypool tapes are sent offsite daily. I've acquired a second 3494 which is now lan and san attached at our second site. Next step is to change processing so that copypools directly use the offsite library instead of the onsite one. If the primary and copy pools were in the different devclasses I could just update the copypool devclass, but this is not the case. The manual shows no way of updating the devclass associated with a stgpool after it is created. Move data won't move between copypools and even if it did the next days copy processing would just back-fill the moved data. I can't just set up a second copypool to the new location and live with two copies for a while because there are about 600 volumes involved and I don't have that many free tapes. All I can think of is creating a whole new storage pool hierarchy and pointing new backups to that. The old data will gradually expire and eventually I can use move data to clean up the old primary pools. Anyone got any better ideas? Thanks Steve.
