Nick, If you just want to preview - don't use the "TOS=" parameter and no tape mounts will be done.

Boldness has genius, power and magic. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nick Laflamme Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 3:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] MIGRATE NODE oddities z/OS TSM 5.4.3.0 AIX TSM 5.5.1.1 MIGRATE NODE doesn't seem to preserve collocation group membership. Is this WAD or a bug? (I can see arguments about how complex it gets if the target node doesn't have the collocation groups defined, but this doesn't even try!) Also, "MIGRATE NODE yyy TOS=xxx FILED=ALL FSID=1 PREVIEWI=YES" is reading the source tapes! I was hoping (and expecting!) it to get the needed information from the database without mounting tapes. Heck, part of the intent of the PREVIEWI=YES was to avoid introducing tape contention issues on the older, production server as I stand up its replacement. Again, is that a bug, or sign of a user error, or just WAD? (BAD?) Does the behavior change if I don't specify the FSID? Guess what I'm doing this month! Thanks, Nick Glossary: WAD - working as designed BAD - as designed, even if customers might say it's "broken" (or we regret designing it that way).
