As a precaution I run a daily report that does "backup stg tapepool copypool preview=volume wait=yes" for each of my storage pools. This way I will know if anything snuck out of the diskpool to the tapepool prior to backing it up to a copypool.
Just wanted to pass that on in case someone didn't know how to check that their tapepool and copypool were in sync. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Johanson Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] disk storage pool problem As I recently learned, TSM tries to reserve space on disk for the largest file it's going to backup in the current session. If there is not space for that file on disk, it, and the whole backup, will go directly to tape. And it certainly appears as if all subsequent backups from all other nodes will go to tape as long as there are any active sessions. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 15:56:36 -0400 >From: Tim Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [ADSM-L] disk storage pool problem >To: [email protected] > >have nodes set to go first go to disk storage pool, i then migrate to >tape later, have situation where 23gb storage pool is empty and backups >are bypassing disk storage pool and going to tape directly, the backup >copygroup is coded for the disk storage pool to be first > >any ideas > >Tim Brown >Systems Specialist >Central Hudson Gas & Electric >284 South Ave >Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 >Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Phone: 845-486-5643 >Fax: 845-486-5921 Fred Johanson "This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.
