I would like to keep 2 drives unused at all times for restores and labeling scratch tapes.
TSM 5.5/AIX/Atape We have 18 Drives, 1 library manager and 5 library clients. The "classic" method is to set the "Mount limit" in the device class. However, we also have NDMP clients which are configured so there is more than one device class pointing to the same library. - I can't limit the NAS and LTO device classes each to 16 Drives because some of the time, jobs to both device classes will be running at the same time so the individual classes won't reach 16. - I can't limit each to 8, because the NDMP jobs definitely need more than 8 drives when they are running at night, and the other device class needs more than 8 during the day. Can anyone suggest an alternate way to accomplish this?
