Is there any way to take an existing filespace from one node and move it to another? We're talking TB's of data that I don't want to re-create or lose retention on etc.Can't seem to find anything in the admin guides or online. I'm guessing I'm sol? hehe.

That makes sense since the first part of the restore process is to get the filelist from the TSM server. So, if you are pulling down 500K entries or 1M entries, a lot of time will be spent in the first phase. We saw this with our old mail server (cyrus). With over 15M objects, a regular (not no-query) restore would often take hours to get the list of what to pick from to restore. We usually did very specific backups, not GUI. I would highly recommend dividing into multiple TSM nodes. We are doing that with our big-honking Netware server. There are over 20-departments. Each will have their own volume with their own TSM node. This is for both security/administration but also load.

Here's my issue. I have two large F&P servers that pretty much contain all of our department files. We have multiple department drives I would like to somehow segregate. The reason is that our file restores have gotten REALLLLLLLY slow, meaning the GUI navigation. If I need to do a file restore and search using the GUI, clicking on another folder and waiting for the results for Active & Inactive files takes sometimes up to 20mins to respond. It's getting ridiculous. Have you come across this issue? I can only presume it's because we have way too many files getting backed up on a single node name. Advice? I was thinking of trying to get each Dept drive backed up separately, which would require new node names etc. That's fine but my issue is getting this setup without have to re-backup the directories (recreating the filespaces), or losing retention on the directories. I was trying to find out how to move filespace nodedata. Like moving the D:\ filespace from NodeA to NodeB. I don't see instructions anywhere for this. I only see instructions for moving from one storagepool to another. Thanks in advance!!
