Dear All,
I am running TSM Server 5.2.4 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition and am going
to upgrade TSM to 5.2.9 in a couple of days.
We are in transition phase from IBM 3582 (2 Ultrium 2 Drives) to HP MSL 6060 (2
Ultrium 3 Drives) with IBM Library moving to our DR Site.
My aim is to move entire data from IBM Tape library to HP Tape Library and here
is how I am planning : Please correct me where I am wrong:
1- Connect HP library to the same SAN as IBM library.
2- Run Device Configuration wizard to setup new library. Would I require to
define DEVICE CLASS myself or it is done automatically upon completion of
wizard?
3- Create another primary pool with its device class set to HP library device
class.
4- QQQQQ Can I move entire data from LTOPOOL1 which is primary pool and all the
tapes reside in library (Approx. 18) directly or do I have to make a temporary
migration pool.
5- I also have 2 Copy pools which I would be moving using the same procedure in
3.
Once all the data is moved to HP pools, I will eliminate IBM Library from this
TSM Server.
Kindly guide me through this process with your valuable tips.
Kind Regards,
Sadi
Sadi,
There is no need to move any data or create any new pools.
Set up your new library and paths. I would always do it manually, but
the wizard will work too.
Checkout all your used volumes from the 3582. Mark them as read only.
Change the devclass that used to point to the 3582 to point to the 6060
Check in all the used volumes into the 6060 as private.
Check in some scratches.
Resume normal operations.
As the data expires off the old LTO2 tapes, eject them from the library
and replace with LTO3.
You might have to use MOVE DATA after a week or two to clean up the last
few LTO2s.
