I have a client that wants to start using WORM tapes for specific nodes/data. They are TSM 5.4.2.0 on Winders2003 SP2, 3494 library and 3592 (TS1120) drives. Reading the manuals/redbooks it seems to activate this:
- Change WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY= on the library definition - Create a DEVCLASS with WORM=YES - Create my stgpool(s) to the new WORM devclass - Checkin WORM media (JR, JW) What just isn't connecting is how does TSM know a regular scratch tape from a WORM scratch tape? When I insert tapes in the 3494 they go in to the insertion category and then checkin "claims" those volumes for TSM. Does TSM and the checkin command recognize the JR/JW and assigns them to the WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY? And is there a way to identify which are WORM scratch tapes vs. regular scratch tapes? We have scripts in TOR that alert when the scratch tape count drops below a minimum. TIA, Bill Boyer "Experience is a comb nature gives us after we go bald." - ??
