Re: How to limit drive usage when writing to a copypool
Make a new device class, set a max drive limit for it, and change your copypools to use that device class.

Re: How to limit drive usage when writing to a copypool
I'll try that, but I understood that the "MAXPRocess" parameter is "1" by default. I belive I can change the device class mount limit from "drives" to a number, but that would affect all sequential storagepools associated with it. ? --- Chris Gibes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You need to change the maxpr variable in the "backup > storagepool" > command.

Re: How to limit drive usage when writing to a copypool
You need to change the maxpr variable in the "backup storagepool" command. For example ba stg maxpr=1 This will limit the copy operation to using one drive. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lohnie Martineau Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to limit drive usage when writing to a copypool In a Win2000/TSM 4.2.1.5 environment with a 3584-LTO library: I have a situation where all available (4) tape drives are writing to four LTO tapes incremental copypool information. This results in four tapes being sent off-site with only 1-3% usage and a lot of unnecessary tape handling. Is there a way to limit the copypool writes to one or two drives without affecting the rest of the environment? Thanks in advance, LohnieM __ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
