Hi. I am a newly appointed ADSM administrator, and have a simple task
to accomplish (it would seem !): achive a set of files from two clients
for 7 years.
I have been trying to read through manuals to find the process for doing
this, but have not been too successful. I did find references to
creating a management class for archiving, and making references to that
in the includexclude and dsm.sys files on the client side, but have not
figured out how to migrate the files to an archive copy pool. I will
need to retain two copies of each archive file for seven years.
I have been looking through ADSM Admin Reference, Guide, ADSM concepts
redbook, etc. but have not found a procedure for creating such things.

What manual or Redbook has the information I'm should look for ? I am
running ADSM 2.1.6 on an RS/6000 Model 40 running AIX 4.2. I have an IBM
3494 tape library with 3 3590 tape drives and 100 tapes. I have
diskpool(disk), tapepool, archivepool(tape) and spacemngmt(disk) as
primary storage pools and drmpool(tape) and copypool(tape) as copy
storage pools. Do I need to create another tape storage pool for the
second archive copy ? One copy will need to go off-site. What commands
do I use to place the tapes in the input/output station ? We have DR
Manager installed, but not configured.

Any help would be appreciated !!

Thanks, Aubrey Truex
