Hello list. Environment . TSM 5.3.4.1 running on AIX.
I have a question about the mig stg command versus the hi/lo parameter on a Disk Storage pool for migration purposes. I was recently in a TSM class and the instructor informed me that the mig stg command runs single threaded as compared to the upd stg command which will run multiple threads. Here is the theoretical situation I gave him. You have a disk pool. That is 10 GB. This disk pool has the Migration Processes parameter set to 2. Theoretically this disk is 50 % full with data from 2 nodes. And tyou have the tape drives available for migration to the Next Storage Pool to tape. Scenario 1. You issue the mig stg diskpool lo=0. This will kick off 2 processes.... 1 per node.... According to the instructor this is running on a single thread and moving the data at a slow rate. Scenario 2 You issue the upd stg diskpool hi=0 lo=0 This will kick off 2 processes .... 1 per node..... According to the instructor this is running one thread per process and moving the data in paralell. Has anyone seen this, or heard this? We are currently using the mig stg command and I wonder if we could be doing this more efficiently.
