I have a TSM backup server 5.4 and a manual drive TANDBERGTS400. When I backup data the client to tape firstly, TSM server requires a scratch tape, then the process is successful, I eject the tape (tape01) manually. However I backup data of the other client, TSM server always requests mount a scratch tape and no use tape01. How do I configure to TSM uses tape01 for the next backup process.
I'd advise downloading the TSM Concepts manual from http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244877.html and study that, to be able to use this complex product effectively. At your TSM server level, the primary sequential storage pool COLlocate value defaults to GRoup, where without any collocation groups defined the result is collocation by node, meaning that each client starts on a new tape. Evaluate the collocation choices to configure the best one for your needs. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs/
