Hello TSM'rs I have recently implemented a Linux TSM environment using the Server to Server Virtual Volumes.
ServerA receives all client backups to a file based library. ServerA replicates its file based library to identically configured ServerB. ServerB has the ADIC 7 Slot autochanger attached. On ServerB I have the TARGETPOOL which is ServerA's virtual volumes. I then have a local tape pool called LTOPOOL and an offsite pool called LTOOFFSITE. Both are configured as copy pools. Because of the limited amount tapes the autochanger holds I am wondering whether I could do away with the local lto pool, LTOPOOL and just have LTOOFFSITE. I am battling to get my head around how I can still have a workable offsite tape policy. I keep coming back to the need for an onsite tape pool. Am I over looking something? Rgds Mark
