We had a client referred to us that has TSM running on Windows2000 connected to an IBM 3581 Ultium Autoloader....1 LTO drive...7 slots. I have no idea what....person...configured this for them, but they are asking if it's possible to make it work. They are also limited to about 20GB of disk space for storage pools.
I can make the reclamation work via the RECLAIMSTGPOOL= parameter (provided I can talk them into getting more disk), but is there a way to copy the onsite tape to copypool tape with only 1 drive? Also, does anyone know if during reclamation with the RECLAIMSTGPOOL, if there is a single file on the tape to be reclaimed that is larger than the size of the RECLAIMSTGPOOL...what will happen? Will TSM split the file and do it in multiple parts or just skip it and not fully reclaim the tape? I am also going to open an issue with Tivoli for these same questions, but thought I would get some real world answers, too. :-) Bill Boyer DSS, Inc.
