Sounds like you could do what you want if DRM handled primary pools?

Download and install a trial copy of Autovault from www.coderelief.com.

For several reasons, we converted to Autovault from DRM.  It is so
inexpensive it was much more cost-effective for us to do that than to write
and support the scripts we needed to automate DRM functions.  It works
great, they provide great support, and it will vault primary tape pools.
The install is clean and tidy, no hooks into TSM code.

And no, I don't sell software, or get anything from Autovault - it just did
a great job meeting our needs (and our budget...)


Mail me directly if you have questions about it.

TSM Server 4.2.3.0 on Solaris 8
will probably upgrade to TSM Server 5.?.?.? in the near future if
they ever release one that people here seem to think is stable.

Lease on the Solaris machine hosting the server expires this summer
so it will be replaced with something, don't know what yet, but it
will probably be some flavor of AIX.
