This is a specific requirement of a more general topic: since TSM know what
it is doing, it can certainly tell us.  I would ask development to give us
some dashboard information about lots of things that go on within.  Other
items I can think of: during a restore, how many objects left to restore.
Perhaps a count at the beginning as well.  Maybe even the volumes that are
going to be required during the restore.  During the migration/backup
stg/etc of a very large file, the number of MB already moved to tape so one
can get an idea how long the operation might take.  Especially interesting
if one has to down the server for some reason (if only I had waited another
two minutes, I wouldn't have to watch that 90GB file move again!).

Bottom line: we have less to worry about with TSM now.  Now we want bells
and whistles!

Subject: Measuring progress of copy stgpool operation


Hi all,

Everything is in the title : is there a way (sql query ?) to find out,
during a copy stgpool process, how many objects, or even better how many MB
remains to be copied for finishing the process. Basically, the goal would be
having an idea of remaining duration till the job ceases
Thanks in advance !

Arnaud
