Hi TSMers, We've a single TSM-Server (TSM5.3.4/AIX5.3) and 3494 tape library with eight TS1120 drives. We'll split the environment into two physical servers because our database (actual 200GB) is growing continuously. There should be three TSM instances - one new instance as library manager for 3494 sharing on existing server and two instances (existing instance and a new one on new physical machine) for node access as library clients. Now I'm looking for information how to configure and migrate to this new environment but the documentation for the SAN/AIX part seems to be very poor. To ensure that the data flow over SAN on both physical machines (for migration from disk storage pools to tape) I'd like to build zones within both servers and all of the tapes on the fabric(s) so that the tape drives can be configured as primary/alternate rmt's on each of the two servers.
If this is possible and supported next step will be to gather information how to set up the LIBRARY, PATH and DRIVE definitions and how to migrate all the libvolumes from old instance to the new library manager instance. Any suggestions how to do that ? TIA Otto ___________________________________ TSM-Admininstration Medical University of Vienna, Austria
