You have migration delay set to 1 day. However migration continue is set to yes.
It may be that the server is migrating down automatically files that have not satisfied the migration delay time? I haven't used this much as I tend to keep migration day at 0 days. _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Hatfield Sent: 14 September 2006 16:48 To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Tapes getting opened and closed hundreds of times during disk-bac kup Hello All, I have been working on this a while, and I am at my wit's end: Backing up (on 5.3 server) to a stgpool of disk. There are NO copy stgpools defined for the disk, although I did try that at one time. As any client backs up, along with writing to the disk stgpool, it also opens and closes an LTO tape in my main tape pool hundreds of times...open close...open close...open close... Further symptoms: The backup process is apparently writing as it should to disk stgpool BUT also to my "Next Storage Pool", SL500. I see NO reason for this behavior. If Tivoli cannot mount a tape in the SL500, the client backup will not continue...it will just wait for media. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have even restarted the Tivoli server process to reload the configs, but no change. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated! :) ==============DISK STORAGE POOL==================.
