I have a client that does monthly backups of each node using a <nodename>_M naming standard. This data goes into a LONGTERM_3584 storage pool and is then copypool'd into LONGTERM_VAULT. The problem is that not all of these tapes were copypool'd. And there are so many of them that they can not all fit into th library (3583). The client wants to have these tapes copypool'd. I've been rotating a few tapes per day into the library and doing a BA STG. Some days this command only runs for a few minutes and quits without copying any data. How can I verify that the data on the primary pool tapes is indead on the copypool? All these primary tapes are ACC=UNAVAIL to keep them from being requested to be mounted. When I issue the BA STG command, I get screen fulls of the ANR1229W message for each tape that is UNAVAILABLE...including the ones that were in the library and had the BA STG command run against them.
If I compare the occupancy of the LONGTERM_3584 with LONGTERM_VAULT, I come up wiht around a 12TB difference. How can I rotate these tapes into the library and guarantee that the data is copypool'd? Bill Boyer "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional" - ??
