I don't have much background or experience with the MS-Windows filesystem and directory config, so I felt I'd better ask the more experienced people here how to approach this . . .
I have a Windows fileserver that I have co-located by filesystem (drive letter) both on-site and in the off-site copy pool. But three of the drives have minimal activity AND are not on the priority list for D/R. Because of the minimal activity, my server is going nutz recaliming the off-site tapes as soon as they get checked out (the 'bib' drive uses 1.2% of an LTO-1 tape). I'd like to move these three drives to a non-colocated storage pool - and that looks easy enough. But how do I handle the directory structure? I can't see any way to split the directory structure to multiple management classes. Do I just bite the bullet and point dirmc at the non-colocated pool? Micro-management of the copy pool tapes is not an option unless I have *total* control over the micro-management (these four drives to this tape, and one tape each for the other four drives). We run TSM in a 'configure, check, and ignore' mode as much as possible. TSM server and client are both 5.3.x, if that makes a difference. Have I missed something obvious? This looks like a job for 'include.dir', but it looks like that's not a supported construct.
