Because we're implementing offsite backups for 4 of our 80
ADSM nodes, using EXPORT NODE on a VM Version 1 server
(*please* IBM send ADSM Version 2 for VM!), we get a _lot_
of tape mounts when we do the export, although at the
latest server PTF level, the run-time is otherwise OK.
I'd like to implement collocation for just our four RS/6000
servers, leaving all our desktop systems with collocation
off to minimize tape mounts during our daily backups. I
have created a new policy domain for our servers, including
a separate storage pool with COLLOCATE=YES. When I switch
the servers to the new policy doman, their backups will
start going into the new collocated storage pool. Questions:
1. Is there some way to move the _existing_ files in ADSM
storage pools for these servers into the new collocated
storage pool?
2. Is the separate policy domain the right way to do all this,
or should I be reorganining this at a different level of
the storage hierarchy?
