I have a 3582-L23 tape drive. It has two fiber attached drives. Both drives are attached to my iSeries thru a 2109-F16 into two 5704 fiber cards. I want to configure this as a single media library to use in TSM as a Copy Storage Pool. I want to be able to do a backup stg backuppool lto_3582 where backuppool is our current disk storage pool, and, lto_3582 is this media library. When it does this, I want it to write using both of the drives in the 3582 at the same time. I assume the steps are: 1 - Configure the 3582 using steps from the book "IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Library 3582 Setup, Operator, and Service Guide". 2 - Hope the reboot of the 3582 autocreates a new TAPMLBxx on the iSeries. If not, configure that. 3 - In TSM, configure the copy storage pool to use this new media library.
One, is this possible? Or can a single media library only use one drive at a time? tsm 5.2.2 for iSeries PASE. os/400=V5R3M0 Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com
