We have two sites. The 2nd site has primary storage, the primary copypools. Both are currently in tape libaries.
We do plan to move the primary storage pools to SATA drives on a DS4800. We did try migrateing the copypools to SATA drives but I found the setup very awkward. Primary pools can be random storage, copypools can only be disk based if they simulate drives. What I found was when it reached the end of the disk 'volume' it generated a write error on the 'volume' and then allocated another volume and continued. However, this meant reseting the volumes that reached the maximum volume size each morning. The problem with mirroring primary storage pool is a delete on one is an immediate delete on the mirror. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/02/07 12:31 PM >>> One of my TSM servers is using disk only for onsite pools and tape for offsite. I am considering putting a SAN offsite to mirror my onsite diskpools thereby doing away with tape all together. This server has about 12TB of storage. I have a dedicated fiber link to my offsite location. Is this a good or bad idea? I understand that DRM won't be in effect any longer. Client restores would be more readily available if needed but what about the database? Any considerations or recommendations there or elsewhere?
