     On the servers that I've cranked the est/max cap up on to limit the  
     number of virtual volumes to track (ie I made the MAXCAP=1024G) now  
     those all go straight past the front end disk and off to tape BUT the  
     example above put the "backup db t=f dev=RMTSRV" into the diskpool for  
     the default management class archive copy group and didn't roll over  
     to the "next" tapepool !
      
     SOOOOO it must be based on the MAXCAP deal...
      
     OH BINGO BABY !   I just jacked MAXCAP to 1024G and the same backup db  
     is now calling for a scratch mount in the "next" tapepool (just jumped  
     over the diskpool)
      
     later,  
           Dwight

Hi
      
We have a server to server communication between AIX ADSM V3 (source) and  
MVS ADSM V3 (target).
      
So far we have used a tape archivepool for the virtual volumes.
Then we tried to use disk, i.e. pointing to a disk archivepool in the  
default management class. But nothing was stored in the disk archivepool.  
Everything was stored on tape.
      
How do I use a disk archivepool for virtual volumes?
      
Regards
