Personally, I'm dubious that this is doable but management would like to know:
Is there a way to fool HSM into using only part of a tape for ML2 and Backup so
that a shorter tape could be used for duplexing?
We currently use 9840A drives for both local and remote (Duplex) ML2 and Backup
tapes.
Management would like to transfer the local HSM workload to an SL8500 with
9840D tape drives.
Both the 9840As and 9840Ds are gen'd as emulated 3490s.
We currently use the following Tapeutilization parameters:
SETSYS -
TAPEUTILIZATION(UNITTYPE(L9840) PERCENTFULL(2200)) -
TAPESPANSIZE(1000)
SETSYS -
TAPEUTILIZATION(UNITTYPE(R9840) PERCENTFULL(2200)) -
TAPESPANSIZE(1000)
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
