Or, just back it up to diskpool.  When the diskpool gets to the high water
mark, it will start migration to the next storage pool (I assume, your
tapepool).  When the diskpool gets completely full, TSM will automatically
send files to the next storage pool (again, assuming your tapepool),
meaning, directly to tape.
This is all good, as long as you have at least two tape drives.

One thing I would suggest is to run this backup outside of your normal
scheduled backups, so you will have this done (and hopefully copied to your
copy stgpool (offsite)) before the main backups for all your other clients
begin.

Hope this helps.

Just change the destination pool of the given management class to the tape
pool (the one that the disk pool will migrate to).  Make sure you activate
the policy set.  Then do your first backup.  Now go in and change the
destination pool to the disk pool.  Make sure to activate the policy set
again.  That should do it.

Subject: management class question???


Hi everyone!

I am creating a new management class for a user that wants all files backed
up incrementally no matter if it is open or not.  I know that I have to use
the dynamic parameter for copy serialization.  On a normal day I want the
backup to go to the disk pool, but the first time this server backs up it
will back up the entire 202 GB server.  My problem is that the disk pool is
only 34 GB.  I want to direct the first backup directly to tape and all
future backups to disk.  How do I do this?  If I tell the user to first use
a MC that goes directly to tape and then use a MC that goes to disk for all
others, will it not try to do a backup of all files for the second
incremental backup since it is technically using a new MC class or does it
go by files that exist?  Thanks in advance for any help!!!
