Hello.
I have the following problem: We have two locations with a distance of 80km between them. At each location we have a TSM-Server which hosts the backups for the location. Until last week we brougth our copy-pool-volumes to a safe which was maybe 10km from the location. When we needed one of this tapes, we went there with a car and had the tape in the library within maybe one hour. Now we had to give up this external safes because of the costs and do the following: the copy-pool-volumes from location A are brougth to location B and the volumes from location B are brougth to location A. And now the management has the great idea, that we could do the following: if we would need a copy-pool-volume on location B, which is actually stored at location A 80km away, we could put this tape in a library at location A, read the data there and transport it to the TSM-Server at location B via our WAN-connection. I told them that this is not possible, but they think it MUST be possible. Could this really be done or am I rigth when I say that it is not possible? How would it be done if it is possible? I had some ideas like checkin the volume, make a move data to disk, which is accessible as share to the second server and restore from there. But how would the two servers now, what is going on? Or create a second TSM-instance so that we have both TSM-Servers at each site. But how keep them actual? Hope to get answers soon.
